Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently made great advances in image classification and malignancy prediction in the field of dermatology. However, understanding the applicability of AI in clinical dermatology practice remains challenging owing to the variability of models, image data, database characteristics, and variable outcome metrics. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of dermatology literature using convolutional neural networks. Furthermore, the review summarizes the current landscape of image datasets, transfer learning approaches, challenges, and limitations within current AI literature and current regulatory pathways for approval of models as clinical decision support tools.
