Dermatology

Comprehensive Summary

This article evaluates the use of multi-modal systems to evaluate more ambiguous lesions, rare subtypes, and comorbidities. Although the previous standard was to rely heavily on single-modality AI, the ability to fuse dermoscopy, histopathology, and genomic data is becoming more apparent through the use of vision-language models, CNNS, transformers, and transfer learning. These unified models could enhance diagnosis and be reliable to predict progression and provide dependable treatment responses. Such application domains include skin cancer, inflammatory dermatoses, rare/complex disorders, where accuracy and dependability are predicted to be especially useful for these areas. However, the key challenges outlined include data harmonization, scarcity of datasets, variable interpretability, and privacy concerning genomic data. Thus, the authors push for assessment of safety and explainability from multi-institutional collaboration, integration of EHR outcomes, and regulatory frameworks.

Outcomes and Implications

With the recent improvements in AI to make diagnostic decisions, the future of multi-modal AI is promising to work alongside current clinicians for added judgment and evaluation. More specifically, potential benefits include fewer unnecessary biopsies, more personalized therapy selection, and lower recurrence risk. However, more broader research should guide prospective studies in diverse populations, stronger model interpretability and robust safeguards for genomic privacy. In the meantime, these models serve as additive support that is useful for surveillance and treatment planning within a comprehensive, holistic clinical evaluation.
