Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The research evaluates a series of publications on the machine recognition efficacy of cutaneous melanoma dermatoscopic images. Some authors report high sensitivity and specificity of automated diagnostics of skin tumors. Significant differences in the published data can be attributed to the use of different algorithms and groups of skin neoplasms to calculate the accuracy rate.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The diagnostic performance of two automated artificial intelligence systems is compared.

RESULTS: The convolutional neural network algorithm improves the overall diagnostic accuracy by 7% compared to the algorithm without deep learning, while the overall accuracy rate was 78%. An initial set of 100 dermatoscopic images used in the study is published online for the assessment of the applicability of the obtained data when introducing existing artificial intelligence systems.

CONCLUSION: The main limitations and possible ways to further improve the automated diagnosis of skin tumors based on digital dermatoscopy are outlined.
