影像诊断学比如通过病理切片来识别相应特征性细胞确诊

本文叙述人工智能在其中的应用以及过度诊断的潜在短板

The diagnosis of cancer, particularly solid tumors, relies  heavily on the visual interpretation of histologic slides by  pathologists病理学家 who use their experience in pattern recognition  to render a diagnosis.

 The technology has important limitations, however.

--the diagnosis of disease that meets the pathologic definition of cancer but never would have caused morbidity or mortality in  a patient’s lifetime.

EVOLVE Manual Pipette Unlike traditional pipettes which utilize a single rotating plunger to set volumes, the EVOLVE features three dials for setting each individual volume digit. This revolutionary approach allows users to set volumes more than ten times faster.

 it also risks identifying malignancies that would never cause patients any harm.

The disagreement category could be a subject of study for researchers on  the natural history of cancer. It may also be useful for clinicians  and patients who may want to consider less-aggressive treatment for the lesions in the gray area of pathologist disagreement. The use of ML technology in healthcare is still nascent,  but like any other technology, it needs to be adequately vetted before it is widely adopted, given the potential for unintended harms such as overdiagnosis. Hopefully, prospective  randomized trials can be performed in order to assess the  effect of ML on cancer diagnosis.
