Medical Imaging Breakthroughs

Medical imaging is where computer vision has its strongest real-world record:

• Diabetic retinopathy screening from retinal photos — deployed in clinics where an ophthalmologist may be hundreds of miles away
• Tumor segmentation — U-Net descendants outline lesions and measure whether they're shrinking under treatment, to the millimeter
• Triage — flagging critical chest X-rays so radiologists read the urgent scans first

The common pattern: experts are scarce, the output is well-defined, and a second reader adds value even at imperfect accuracy.
