Transforming Healthcare: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications in Medical Imaging and Drug Response Prediction.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a broad range of enhancements in medicine. Machine learning and deep learning techniques have shown significant potential in improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes, from assisting clinicians in diagnosing medical images to ascertaining effective drugs for a specific disease. Despite the prospective benefits, adopting AI in clinical settings requires careful consideration, particularly concerning data generalisation and model explainability. This commentary aims to discuss two potential use cases for AI in the field of medicine and the overarching challenges involved in their implementation.
