Design a machine learning model to assist in diagnosing diseases from medical imaging data.

Instruction: Discuss your approach to data collection, preprocessing, model selection, training, and validation, including how you would handle the ethical considerations involved. Fictional research-only brief: a model prioritizes an imaging review queue; it does not issue diagnoses. Data come from three sites, with repeated studies per patient. One site uses a scanner absent from training. All studies must still receive the normal clinician review within the existing deadline. Define a baseline, split, failure behavior and evidence needed before a clinical pilot.

Context: This question assesses the candidate's ability to work with complex healthcare data, requiring an understanding of technical, ethical, and regulatory considerations.

I would treat this as a clinical decision-support system, not an autonomous diagnosis system. That distinction matters because the design has to optimize for clinician trust, calibration, and safe workflow integration, not just benchmark accuracy.
