Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University, Check4Cancer, University of Essex and Addenbrooke’s Hospital worked on the AI model which was trained on data from 53,601 skin lesions from 25,105 patients.
In this study, researchers used machine learning and combination theory to distill 22 clinical features down to the most important that predict if a skin lesion might be suspicious or not.
