正文：Google’s DeepMind has developed artificial intelligence to diagnose diseases by analysing medical images, in what could be the first significant application of AI in healthcare.

London-based DeepMind has crunched data from thousands of retinal scans to train an AI algorithm to detect signs of eye disease more quickly and efficiently than human specialists.

Findings have been submitted to a medical journal by the company after “promising signs” from a two-year partnership with the National Health Service and London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital, one of the best-known in the world for ophthalmology. The technology could enter clinical trials in a few years if results pass a peer review by academics.

“In areas like medical imaging, you can see we’re going to make really tremendous progress in the next couple of years with artificial intelligence,” Dominic King, clinical lead for DeepMind Health, told the Financial Times.

谷歌(Google)的DeepMind已开发出通过分析医学影像诊断疾病的人工智能，这可能是人工智能在医疗领域的首个重大应用。

总部位于伦敦的DeepMind处理了数千张视网膜扫描图的数据，以训练一种人工智能算法探测眼病迹象——比人类专家更迅速和更高效率。

该公司已将研究结果递交一家医学刊物，此前该公司与英国国民医疗服务体系(NHS)以及全球最知名的眼科医院之一、伦敦的Moorfields Eye Hospital为期两年的合作出现“颇有希望的进展”。如果研究结果通过学者们的同行评议，这项技术有望在几年后投入临床试验。

DeepMind Health临床主管多米尼克•金(Dominic King)告诉英国《金融时报》：“在医学影像等领域，你可以看到未来两年我们将借助人工智能取得真正重大的进展。”
