Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News – New research on Artificial Intelligence is the su bject of a report. According to news reporting originating from Modena, Italy, b y NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The Reflectance Confocal Microscopy - Optical Coherence Tomography (RCM-OCT) device has shown utility in detecting an d assessing depth of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in vivo but is challenging for n ovices to interpret. Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to RCM-OCT could aid r eaders.” Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Moden a and Reggio Emilia, “We trained artificial intelligence (AI) models, using OCT rasters of biopsy-confirmed BCC, to detect and create 3D BCC rendering and autom atically measure tumor depth. Trained AI models were applied to a separate test set containing rasters of BCC, benign lesions, and normal skin. Blinded reader a nalysis and tumor depth correlation with histopathology were conducted. BCC dete ction improved from viewing OCT rasters only (sensitivity 73.3%, sp ecificity 45.5%) to viewing rasters with AI-generated BCC rendering (sensitivity 86.7%, specificity 48.5%). A Pearson Cor relation r2 = 0.59 (p=0.02) was achieved for the tumor depth measurement between AI and histologic measured depths.”
