Serious question: is there a way to get access to medical imagery as a non-student? I would love to do some machine learning with it myself, as I see lot’s of potential in image analysis in general. 5 years ago I created a model that was able to spot certain types of ships based only on satellite imagery, which were not easily detectable by eye and ignoring the fact that one human cannot scan 15k images in one hour. Similar use case with medical imagery - seeing the things that are not yet detectable by human eyes.

Yeah there are some openly available datasets on competition sites like Kaggle, and some medical data is available through public institutions like like NIH.

I knew about kaggle, but not about NIH. Thanks for the hint!

Yeah there is. A bloke I know did exactly that with brain scans for his masters.

Would you mind asking your friend, so you can provide the source?

Edit: European DTI Study on Dementia too, he said it's easier to get data from there
