New AI Algorithm Enhances Polyp Detection in Colonoscopy Procedures
Researchers at Shanghai Wision AI Co., Ltd., a developer of computer-aided diagnostic algorithms and systems to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of diagnostic imaging, have announced results of a study validating a novel machine-learning algorithm that improves detection of adenomatous polyps during colonoscopy. The AI algorithm is built on the same network architecture that is used to develop self-driving cars and is designed to enable “self-driving” in colonoscopy procedures. More...23 Nov 2018
Study Finds AI Falls Short When Analyzing Medical Data
A study conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools trained to detect pneumonia on chest X-rays suffered significant decreases in performance when tested on data from outside health systems. These findings suggest that unless AI in the medical space is carefully tested for performance across a wide range of populations, the deep learning models may not perform as accurately as expected.
