The artificial intelligence system Al beat some of the leading Chinese doctors in diagnosing brain tumors and predicting the spread of hematomas, The Next Web reported.
According to the Chinese portal Xinhua, the system defeated a team of 15 leading Chinese doctors by a score of two to one. The Al system, also known as BioMind, is a product of the Artificial Intelligence and Neurological Disorders Research Center of Beijing's Tiantan Hospital and is another example in a long line of image analysis technologies.
In diagnosing brain tumors, BioMind reached a high 87 percent, according to the accuracy of 66 percent achieved by medical experts. Additionally, the system took just 15 minutes to detect 225 cases, compared to 30 minutes for doctors.
BioMind again showed superiority in predicting the spread of hematoma on the brain, where it achieved a result of 83 percent, while doctors managed to achieve only 63 percent, writes the Croatian Index.
The scientists trained the system by entering thousands of images from the archives of the Tjantan Hospital. This raised his level of recognition of neurological diseases to that of a chief physician, given that he reached a level of accuracy of 90 percent.
The executive vice president of Tiantan Hospital told the Xinhua portal that he was not too concerned about the winner of the battle between doctors and the Al system. He said he deeply believes that the competition helped doctors see the power of artificial intelligence, especially those skeptical about it. In the end, he expressed the hope that doctors will also try to understand artificial intelligence more deeply and remove possible prejudices against it, reports The Next Web.
