Enhancing Diagnostic Precision in Primary Care: A Multireader Multicase (MRMC) Study of an AI-Powered Handheld Elastic Scattering Spectroscopy Device for Informed Referral Decisions in Melanoma Evaluation.
The ESS device improved PCP accuracy in managing lesions suggestive of melanoma and increased their sensitivity for all skin cancers and melanoma. Participating internal medicine and family medicine physicians reported increased confidence in their assessments with the device. The ESS device can improve PCP decision making when managing lesions suggestive of melanoma.
