Accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis of melanoma: a meta-analysis.

Dick V, Sinz C, Mittlböck M, Kittler H, Tschandl P. JAMA Dermatol. 2019 Jun 19; [Epub ahead of print].

Advanced computing holds promise for reducing missed diagnoses of cancer. This metanalysis found that computer-aided diagnosis effectively detects melanoma; however, studies were low in quality. The authors suggest that these systems may help assist dermatologists in overcoming the limitations of human cognition for performing repetitive tasks.
