Alternative methods are available for a wide range of medical conditions. Idealistically, doctors would have a tool that would analyse their patients’ symptoms and suggest the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Artificial intelligence uses decision trees to predict and classify large datasets. A decision tree is a versatile prediction model. Its main purpose is to learn from observations and logic. Rule-based prediction systems represent and categorize events. We discuss the basic properties of decision trees and successful medical alternatives to the classic induction strategy. The study reviews some of the most important medical applications of decision trees (classification). We show researchers and managers how to accurately assess hospital and epidemic management behaviour. Additionally, we discuss decision trees and their applications. The results showed the effectiveness of decision trees in processing medical data by using internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence technologies in medical applications. Accordingly, the researchers recommend the use of these technologies in other fields of studies.
Background and Objectives: The classification of breast cancer is performed based on its histological subtypes using the degree of differentiation. However, there have been low levels of intra- and inter-observer agreement in the process. The use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the field of radiology has shown potential in categorizing medical images, including the histological classification of malignant neoplasms. Materials and Methods: This study aimed to use CNNs to develop an automated approach to aid in the histological classification of breast cancer, with a focus on improving accuracy, reproducibility, and reducing subjectivity and bias. The study identified regions of interest (ROIs), filtered images with low representation of tumor cells, and trained the CNN to classify the images. Results: The major contribution of this research was the application of CNNs as a machine learning technique for histologically classifying breast cancer using medical images. The study resulted in the development of a low-cost, portable, and easy-to-use AI model that can be used by healthcare professionals in remote areas. Conclusions: This study aimed to use artificial neural networks to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of the process of histologically classifying breast cancer and reduce the subjectivity and bias that can be introduced by human observers. The results showed the potential for using CNNs in the development of an automated approach for the histological classification of breast cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
