From the SOCU Poster Hall | Pigment-Specific Dermoscopy and AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing dermatology, and combining AI with dermoscopy is promising unprecedented diagnostic precision. However, as these technologies advance, a critical question remains: Are they designed to serve all patients equally?
Current diagnostic tools often underperform in patients with skin of color due to biases in training data and a lack of standardized i …

Next Steps in Derm, in partnership with ODAC Dermatology, Aesthetic and Surgical Conference, interviewed Dr. Vishal A. Patel (fellowship trained Mohs micrographic surgeon who serves as Director of Cutaneous Oncology at the GW Cancer Center and Director of Dermatologic Surgery at the GW Department of Dermatology) about the pros and cons of gene expression profiling. Watch him describe how this tech … 
Dr. Vishal Patel (Assistant Professor of Dermatology and Director of the Cutaneous Oncology Program at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences) gave a thought-provoking talk at the 2022 ODAC Dermatology, Aesthetic & Surgical Conference about something we do nearly every day as dermatologists – full body skin exams. He started by reviewing the rising epidemic of sk … 
Admittedly, it took me a while to get over the fear of an artificial intelligence (AI) “apocalypse”, which likely developed after my older brother forced me to repeatedly watch “The Terminator” at the tender age of seven. Through an extensive dive into the literature and numerous lectures by Dr. Vishal A. Patel, I’ve since realized the applicability and patient benefit of AI in dermatolo …
