Article Synopsis
- The diagnosis of face and scalp lesions (FSL) is difficult for dermatologists due to overlapping characteristics, making artificial intelligence, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNN), a potential aid.
- In a study with 64 dermatologists classifying 100 FSL images, a significant portion of diagnoses (8.8%) were labeled as 'unclear' and often incorrectly managed.
- When dermatologists followed CNN classifications in these unclear cases, the rate of wrong management decisions dropped significantly, suggesting that AI support could improve clinical outcomes for patients with FSL.
