Artificial Intelligence Beats Experts At Diagnosing Childhood Eye Disease
Michael Chiang reviews images of the eyes of premature babies who were sent to him via the telemedicine program at OHSU for ROP monitoring and diagnosis. An artificial intelligence system is better than most experts at diagnosing a childhood blindness disease, according to a new study from Oregon Health and Science University. Retinopathy of prematurity, or ROP, is a disease that can cause blindness in premature babies. It's how the musician Stevie Wonder lost his sight. To diagnose ROP, doctors have to examine the back of the eye and see whether the blood vessels are overly dilated or wiggly.
