Ep 8 Using Augmented Intelligence to Analyze Atypical Pigmented Lesions - a podcast by Canadian Dermatology Association

Over the past decade, new technologies, devices, and methods have been developed to assist in the diagnosis of cutaneous melanocytic lesions. A study published in the November December 2018 issue of JCMS evaluates the performance of an augmented intelligence system in the assessment of atypical pigmented lesions.

On this episode, Editor-In-Chief Dr Kirk Barber speaks with two of the paper's co-authors about the potential for this technology to augment and enhance clinical decision making for dermatologists. Dr John Arlette is a Professor of Surgery, a dermatologist and a Moh’s Surgeon in Calgary, Alberta. Dr Alexander Wong is an associate professor in the Department of Systems Design and Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He is also Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging.
