Google AI’s skin scanner can detect skin cancer earlier and more accurately than human doctors, a new study has found. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, found that the AI system was able to identify skin cancers with 91% accuracy, compared to 86% accuracy for human dermatologists. The AI system was also able to identify skin cancers at an earlier stage than human dermatologists, which could lead to better treatment outcomes..
The study included over 100,000 images of skin lesions from over 2,000 patients. The images were divided into two sets: one set was used to train the AI system, and the other set was used to test the system’s accuracy..
The AI system was trained on a variety of skin cancer types, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The system was able to identify all three types of skin cancer with high accuracy..
The study also found that the AI system was able to identify skin cancers at an earlier stage than human dermatologists. This is important because early detection of skin cancer can lead to better treatment outcomes..
The AI system is still in the early stages of development, but the results of this study are promising. The system has the potential to improve the accuracy and early detection of skin cancer, which could lead to better treatment outcomes for patients..
Here are some of the key findings of the study:.
* The AI system was able to identify skin cancers with 91% accuracy, compared to 86% accuracy for human dermatologists..
* The AI system was able to identify skin cancers at an earlier stage than human dermatologists..
* The AI system was able to identify all three types of skin cancer included in the study: melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma..
The study was conducted by researchers from Google AI and Stanford University. The lead author of the study is Dr. Andre Esteva, a dermatologist at Stanford University..
Dr. Esteva said that the results of the study are .
