In conclusion, several computer programs have been developed to aid diagnosis in dermatology. These have used various methods to reach a diagnosis, with some earlier programs using probabilistic techniques and later programs using cognitive models. Several current trends, if they continue, would indicate that computer-assisted diagnosis may play a greater role. The growing number of physicians who own the prerequisite computing resources will probably want diagnostic software to accompany their office management and data base software. The increasing ease of use of diagnostic software, with rapid access and ease of updating, should make these programs more attractive to physicians. Some of the newer peripheral devices such as optical disks and voice input will probably make the software more interesting. Perhaps the most important factor governing the acceptance of computer diagnostic adjuncts is whether the software will provide a useful service to physicians. If these programs can be demonstrated to improve patient care, they may become commonplace in physicians' offices.
总之，已经开发了几种计算机程序来辅助皮肤病学诊断。这些程序使用了各种方法来进行诊断，一些早期的程序使用概率技术，而后期的程序使用认知模型。如果目前的几个趋势持续下去，这表明计算机辅助诊断可能会发挥更大的作用。拥有必备计算资源的医生数量不断增加，他们可能希望诊断软件能与他们的办公管理和数据库软件配套使用。诊断软件的易用性不断提高，能够快速访问且易于更新，这应该会使这些程序对医生更具吸引力。一些较新的外围设备，如光盘和语音输入，可能会使软件更有趣。也许决定计算机诊断辅助工具能否被接受的最重要因素是该软件是否能为医生提供有用的服务。如果这些程序能够被证明可以改善患者护理，它们可能会在医生办公室变得司空见惯。
