Man vs. machine?

(Case Western Reserve University) The 'deep learning' computers in Anant Madabhushi's diagnostic imaging lab at Case Western Reserve University routinely defeat their human counterparts in diagnosing heart failure, detecting various cancers and predicting their strength. But Madabhushi dismisses any notion that such machines might someday replace pathologists and radiologists. To the contrary, he argues that there is desperate need for better decision-support tools that allows them to serve patients, especially in places where there are few pathologists or radiologists.
