Deep learning algorithm diagnoses skin cancer as well as seasoned dermatologists 9 years ago
Great results! Deep learning has been gaining track in other medicine areas as well.
One such task is lung cancer nodule detection from CT scans. A paper I recently co-authored applied many different architectures to this detection and achieved very good results. (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.08012.pdf)
The best combination of systems detected cancer nodules which were not even found by four experienced thoracic radiologists.
