Could you build this?
No Training foundation vision-language models capable of clinical radiology image interpretation (CT, MRI, X-ray) requires proprietary medical imaging datasets, massive GPU clusters, and clinical trial/FDA regulatory clearance.
What it would actually take: Building Mecha Health requires collecting millions of de-identified 3D DICOM volumes paired with verified radiological reports, building custom 3D vision transformer architectures, and pretraining across massive GPU clusters (hundreds of H100s). The team must include medical imaging researchers, board-certified radiologists for continuous evaluation, and regulatory experts to navigate FDA 510(k) clearances for computer-assisted detection software.
