Using Artificial Intelligence To Detect Melanoma

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and can be challenging to diagnose. In order to improve the rate at which treatment can be accessed, detection and diagnosis rates must also improve. The volume of skin biopsies continues to rise amid a declining pathologist population, slowing the rate of diagnosis and therefore, treatment. Earlier this month, Proscia released study data in which artificial intelligence (AI) was used to detect melanoma with a high degree of accuracy. To find out more about how AI can improve melanoma diagnosis, Technology Networks spoke to Dr. Kiran Motaparthi, director of dermatopathology and clinical associate professor of dermatology at the University of Florida and Julianna Ianni, PhD, vice president of AI R&D, Proscia.
