Artificial Intelligence for Cancer Detection Using Medical Image: Highlights and Limitations

Abstract

Artificial intelligence refers to systems capable of performing tasks, imitating human intelligence. These novel techniques are already being applied in various fields, and medical diagnosis is one of them. For this work, a bibliographic review of scientific literature was used. In this way, some relevant results that show the benefits of using artificial intelligence techniques in the medical field and the limitations and problems that still exist were addressed. The most relevant results indicate that, although there are limitations such as cost or lack of development, artificial intelligence has great potential in clinical diagnosis since it allows automating many analysis and decision-making processes, equating its precision to that of humans. Likewise, there is a promising outlook for these techniques since there is still much room for improvement and enhancement, starting from the academic foundations.
