AI IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS: ENHANCING ACCURACY AND SPEED IN DISEASE DETECTION

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the field of medical diagnostics, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of disease detection. Traditional diagnostic methods, while effective, often rely heavily on human expertise and are subject to variability, fatigue, and interpretation errors. AI, leveraging advanced machine learning and deep learning algorithms, provides tools that can analyze vast and complex medical datasets, including medical images, genomic data, electronic health records, and unstructured clinical notes. In medical imaging, AI-driven systems, particularly convolution neural networks (CNNs), have demonstrated remarkable accuracy in identifying anomalies such as tumors, fractures, and lesions, often matching or surpassing the performance of experienced radiologists. Similarly, in pathology, AI enables automated analysis of tissue samples and histopathology slides, improving throughput and reducing diagnostic errors.
