Using automated deep learning software, physicians without any background in computer programming were able to develop effective artificial intelligence technology for medical image diagnostic classification, a recent study found.
As described in The Lancet Digital Health, scientists trained a deep learning system to classify common diseases based on medical imaging data. Physicians were tasked with using the system to create algorithms that could perform clinical classification and which fit into their individual workflows.
Nearly all of the resulting algorithms were found to be just as accurate in diagnostic classification as existing professionally developed algorithms. According to the study’s authors, these findings are promising for multiple reasons: Not only...
