Could AI change the way doctors detect skin cancer? A Canadian study says it could

A new study out of Dalhousie University in Halifax has found artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially change the way doctors diagnose skin cancer. Researchers used the AI system “Foto Finder” to determine whether certain skin lesions were cancerous – and required removal. They say the technology was able to detect the disease at rates comparable to experienced dermatologists. For Canadians with Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, an early diagnosis can mean the difference between life and death. And a lack of access to specialists can delay diagnosis. As Amber Fryday reports, experts hope AI could help eliminate dangerous wait times.
