Journal: The Lancet. Digital health
PMID: 33323271

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning has the potential to transform health care; however, substantial expertise is required to train such models. We sought to evaluate the utility of automated deep learning software to develop medical image diagnostic classifiers by health-care professionals with no coding-and no deep learning-expertise.
