When artificial intelligence recognizes the tumour
Analyzing and recognizing images is crucial in many medical fields, from cancer cell diagnosis to blood count determination. Until now, this has mainly been done by humans. Deep learning image recognition systems can automate the process with AI.
DIN SPEC 13288 'Guidelines for the development of deep learning image recognition systems in medicine' formulates specific requirements for this. Among other things, it contains practical guidelines for the development and structure of the systems and deals in particular with the handling of data for the training of artificial intelligence (AI).
The guideline is based on DIN SPEC 13266 'Guidelines for the development of deep learning image recognition systems' and expands it with regard to the special requirements in medicine. "Higher quality standards apply in this area than in others, and it is more heavily regulated. That's why the new standard contains separate explanations and stricter requirements," explains Felix Faber from MindPeak, initiator of the DIN SPEC. The AI on which the systems are based learns statistical patterns from sample data and can therefore solve complex image recognition tasks. DIN SPEC 13288 defines special requirements for this data and the corresponding training of the AI for medical use. "The specification also focuses on ensuring that the results are explainable. This is the only way to create trust and acceptance of the technology among doctors and patients alike," says Faber.
The new standard is aimed in particular at manufacturers of deep learning image recognition systems and those involved in research and development projects.
