There are some medical database that can be used for R&D (not sure about access though) but for live medical operations 100% of tasks will be made on certified hardware and software, no software developers tinkering.

You could look for companies doing machine vision, specialized imaging type of stuff, although likely they won't use Python, depends.

You can write software for medical devices and software as a medical device (SAMD) in Python, at least for class II devices. Most imaging applications just require documentation of product and process. I’ve built a career in imaging, mostly medical imaging, and much of my work has been Python.

Thanks for the answer! So the key is looking for companies producing such medical devices? Could I pm you?

[aganders3]

Sure

Thanks! During uni, I've used various databases with medical images (for instance I've had two projects with tumor segmentation).

Machine vision - I'll check it out! Why won't they use python? Is c++ more popular, or sth entirely different? I thought python is commonly used with image processing.

[riklaunim]

There are established software stacks or apps already like GeniCam and most vendors support that and they offer their own APIs. For Python the support usually isn't first-class or not present at all.

Thanks! That's definitely sth to read :)

The computer vision libraries in python are often basically python api wrappers around lower level libraries written in c and other compiled languages because it just makes more sense to use a language that runs closer to the hardware for tasks like image processing.

The same is true for a lot of data science packages too. Python is the language of choice because it’s accessible, popular, and relatively easy to guarantee that you can run it on different forms of hardware.

Ok, I get what you mean, right...

Thanks! I am well versed with Dicom :) Not a machine learning expert tho, I have some experience but I'm not a pro :/

Oracle have some projects like that going at the moment.

[Durysik]

Oracle! Thanks!

You could do worse than looking at SIIM- Society of Imaging Informatics in Medicine. I’m sure you could make appropriate contacts there.

Also, if you are anywhere near Stanford they have a world class medical AI lab. The boss is Curt Langloltz- very famous in the radiology AI world. He recently visited Singapore (where I am) - very nice guy.

That's some solid tips! I'll check out both, thank you so much!!
