Absolutely, John! Machine learning can sift through vast amounts of data, making it easier to spot patterns and potential issues. It can be especially helpful in radiology and pathology.

Jane, I couldn't agree more! ML has the potential to greatly improve patient care. I'd recommend looking into deep learning, a subset of ML, for some powerful image analysis capabilities.

I work with deep learning models for medical imaging, and the improvements have been phenomenal. However, I also agree that explainability is an essential aspect of this technology.

It's worth noting that machine learning is not without its challenges in healthcare. Data privacy, liability, and lack of explainability are significant hurdles we need to overcome.

Thank you for the insights, Jim. It's important to remember the ethical and privacy side of ML, too. I think working on interpretable models will be beneficial in the long run.
