Area of Science:

  • Allergy and immunology
  • Medical imaging
  • Artificial intelligence

Background:

  • The skin prick test (SPT) is a standard diagnostic tool for antigen sensitization.
  • Human interpretation of wheal dimensions in SPT can introduce variability.
  • Automating SPT analysis may improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a deep learning model for automated wheal dimension inference in SPT.
  • To compare the accuracy of the deep learning model against standard measurement protocols and assisted image segmentation.

Main Methods:

  • A convolutional neural network (ML model) was trained on 5844 SPT images for wheal segmentation.
  • Wheal dimensions were inferred using the ML model, standard protocol (MA1), and elliptical approximation (MA2).
  • Results were compared to assisted image segmentation (AIS) using Bland-Altman analysis, correlation tests, and percentage deviation.

Main Results:

  • The ML model achieved 85.88% segmentation accuracy, outperforming other methods.
  • A strong correlation (ρ = 0.88) was observed between the ML model and AIS.
  • The standard protocol (MA1) showed significant errors, particularly with pseudopods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ML protocol offers a more accurate and potentially automated approach to reading SPT results.
  • This deep learning method can reduce reliance on subjective human interpretation in allergy diagnostics.
