AI algorithm can accurately diagnose appendicitis
A team of researchers led by Josephine Reissmann of Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin trained an AI algorithm to provide an automated diagnosis of appendicitis based on the analysis of full blood counts, C-reactive protein (CRP), and appendiceal diameters on ultrasound examinations. In testing, the algorithm was 90% accurate for diagnosing appendicitis.
