Progress of artificial intelligence in the application of reflectance confocal microscopy for the diagnosis of skin diseases
Reflectance confocal microscopy(RCM)is a dynamic,real-time detection tool that provides an approach for non-invasive diagnosis of skin diseases,which has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of various skin diseases such as skin tumors,pigmentary disorders,and inflammatory skin diseases.Currently,the application of artificial intelligence(AI)technology in dermatology is gradually developing and playing an important role in assisting diagnosis and treatment.Due to the variability in the quality of RCM images in clinical practice and the high cost of utilization and diagnosis,AI technology can play an effective role in assisted diagnosis.This review explores the application of AI technology in RCM images of various skin diseases.
