Observational study demonstrates AI model's superior accuracy in acromegaly diagnosis using hand images, suggesting practical deployment potential.
This study highlights the utility of dorsal hand and fist sign as diagnostic clues for acromegaly, which the AI model captured more accurately than endocrinologists. Using this privacy-conscious feature, this model can be deployed in public settings like health checkups. Further validation using larger datasets, including healthy individuals and diverse diseases, is necessary.
