Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging – A Practical Example

In this article, you will learn about a real-world example of the use of artificial intelligence in medical imaging. Read on to learn the details of how various deep learning models are combined to analyze images taken with a microscope. You may have read use cases where AI is used in medical diagnosis to differentiate between images showing pathological and non-pathological features (e.g. Capillaroscopy consists of observing the blood capillaries at the base of the patient's nails (nail bed) using a microscope called a capillaroscope and helps to determine the state of the patient's vascular system in a simple, fast and non-invasive way. Capillaroscopy is frequently used for the diagnosis and follow-up of some autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma, dermatomyositis or mixed connective tissue disease.
