Healthcare AI Radiology Data Labeling & Annotation Project
A large-scale healthcare AI data labeling initiative to support machine learning model development for early-stage pneumonia detection. Managed the annotation of 40,000+ anonymized chest X-ray images, applying multi-level labeling including diagnostic classification, bounding box annotation of lung abnormalities, segmentation of affected regions, and severity grading (mild, moderate, severe). Implemented structured quality assurance protocols, including inter-annotator agreement testing, dual-review validation, and random audit sampling, reducing labeling inconsistencies from 21% to 5%. Collaborated closely with radiologists to ensure medical accuracy, HIPAA compliance, and dataset balance across demographic groups. The labeled dataset directly contributed to the training of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) achieving 93% pneumonia detection accuracy and 35% reduction in diagnostic turnaround time, improving clinical triage efficiency and patient outcomes.
