Artificial intelligence in the radiological diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to diagnose deadly diseases such as cancer. The possible decrease in human error, fast diagnosis, and consistency of judgment are the key incentives for implementing these technologies. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the use of artificial intelligence in cancer diagnosis. Total 200 cancer cases were included with 100 cases each of Breast and lung cancer to evaluate with AI and conventional method by the radiologist. The cancer cases were identified with the application of AI-based machine learning techniques. The sensitivity and specificity check-up was used to assess the effectiveness of both approaches. The obtained data was statistically evaluated. AI has shown higher accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in cancer diagnosis compared to manual method of diagnosis by radiologist.
