Automated Identification of Patent Ductus Arteriosus Using a Computer Vision Model.

Objectives: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a vascular defect common in preterm infants and often requires treatment to avoid associated long-term morbidities. Echocardiography is the primary tool used to diagnose and monitor PDA. We trained a deep learning model to identify PDA presence in relevant echocardiographic images.

Histologic Screening of Malignant Melanoma, Spitz, Dermal and Junctional Melanocytic Nevi Using a Deep Learning Model.

Objective: The integration of an artificial intelligence tool into pathologists' workflow may lead to a more accurate and timely diagnosis of melanocytic lesions, directly patient care. The objective of this study was to create and evaluate the performance of such a model in achieving clinical-grade diagnoses of Spitz nevi, dermal and junctional melanocytic nevi, and melanomas.

Methods: We created a beginner-level training environment by teaching our algorithm to perform cytologic inferences on 136,216 manually annotated tiles of hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides consisting of unequivocal melanocytic nevi, Spitz nevi, and invasive melanoma cases.
