Abstract

This article presents an analysis of foreign literature sources describing the possibilities of using various diagnostic methods and combining diagnostic methods and their analytical software and artificial intelligence for the diagnosis of benign and malignant melanocytic nevi. Evaluation of efficiency was performed. The disadvantages of diagnostic methods based on the results of foreign studies in recent years are described.
