SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at Stanford University have created an artificially intelligent (AI) diagnosis algorithm for skin cancer that matched the performance of certified dermatologists.
By making a database of nearly 130,000 skin disease images and training their algorithm to visually diagnose potential cancer Dwyane Wade Heat Jersey , the researchers tested the final product against 21 certified dermatologists. In its diagnoses of skin lesions, which represented the most common and deadliest skin cancers, the algorithm matched the performance of dermatologists.
There are about 5.4 million new cases of skin cancer in the United States every year, and while the five-year survival rate for melanoma detected in its earliest states is around 97 percent, that drops to about 14 percent if it's detected in its latest stages.
Diagnosing skin cancer begins with a visual examination. A dermatologist usually looks at the suspicious lesion with the naked eye and with the aid of a dermatoscope Alonzo Mourning Heat Jersey , which is a handheld microscope that provides low-level magnification of the skin. If these methods are inconclusive or lead the dermatologist to believe the lesion is cancerous, a biopsy is the next step.
In hopes of creating better access to medical care, the researchers set out to create an algorithm for skin cancer and reported their findings in this week's issues of Nature.
"We realized it was feasible, not just to do something well, but as well as a human dermatologist Goran Dragic Heat Jersey ," said Sebastian Thrun, an adjunct professor in the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. "That's when our thinking changed. That's when we said, 'Look, this is not just a class project for students, this is an opportunity to do something great for humanity.'"
