Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

Dermatology and Medical Imaging
Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Background:

Psoriasis evaluation relies on subjective clinician assessment using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI).
Existing methods struggle with the variable and irregular severity patterns characteristic of psoriasis, especially in multiple-severity cases.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, objective method for evaluating psoriasis severity.
To improve the accuracy of psoriasis assessment, particularly for complex, multi-severity presentations.

Main Methods:

Generated multi-severity psoriasis images using CutMix data augmentation.
Proposed a hierarchical multi-scale deformable attention module (MS-DAM) for adaptive region detection.
Integrated MS-DAM with EfficientNet B1 for psoriasis classification.

Main Results:

The EfficientNet B1 model with MS-DAM achieved a high F1-score of 0.93.
MS-DAM demonstrated over 5% higher accuracy compared to the multi-scale channel attention module (MS-CAM).
Gradient-weighted activation mapping confirmed the method's alignment with human visual perception.

Conclusions:

The proposed MS-DAM offers a more objective, effective, and accurate approach to psoriasis severity analysis.
This AI-driven method enhances the evaluation of diverse psoriasis presentations, including those with irregular severity.
The findings suggest a significant advancement over traditional subjective assessment methods.
