In a study in the Netherlands, the accuracy of image analysis based on artificial intelligence was compared to evaluations made by pathologists. Eleven pathologists participated in the study in which 129 tissue preparations from lymph nodes were reviewed during a maximum of two hours. According to the results, several of the tested image analysis were both quicker and better than the pathologists in identifying smaller micro-metastases. In fact, the AI based image analysis were able to identify three times as many of the micro-metastases as the most skilled pathologist.
