A convolutional neural network trained with dermoscopic images of psoriasis performed on par with 230 dermatologists

Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that causes physical and psychological burden to patients. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) focused on dermoscopic images would substantially aid the classification and increase the accuracy of diagnosis of psoriasis.This study aimed to train an efficient deep-learning network to recognize dermoscopic images of psoriasis (and other papulosquamous diseases), improving the accuracy of the...
