Interesting; thanks for sharing. It also seems like AI/ML could be used to extract labels from unstructured notes.

Yes, you can use NLP. One trick would be to use a medical vocab like https://www.snomed.org/ if anyone is doing this
Getting images is one thing. Getting labels is harder. Getting annotations on regions-of-interest is yet harder. Often the labels are stuck in unstructured data (notes.)
When I was doing my startup (https://www.dochuddle.com/) we trained our classifier and object detector on 1.2 million images. We worked with a large sovereign on getting the images, reports, and annotations.
Just dealing with 20+ TB of images was a job in its-self...but it was indeed unreasonably effective. The success was only technical and ML success.
Even harder -- commercializing it effectively after accounting for legal/contract costs. Yet harder -- getting past conflicts of interest inherent in the US medical system. We were not successful on this front. Possibly too early (we started in 2014)
