Skin Cancer

5.7K
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.3K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

    Area of Science:

    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Medical Imaging
    • Computer Vision

    Background:

    • Deep learning models enhance skin lesion classification accuracy for medical diagnoses.
    • Potential biases in models related to skin color can negatively impact diagnostic outcomes.
    • Ensuring fairness is complex due to skin tone variability and computational demands.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a fairness algorithm for skin lesion classification that addresses bias across diverse skin tones.
    • To improve diagnostic fairness and model efficiency in AI-powered dermatology tools.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a fairness algorithm calculating feature map skewness in VGG and ViT networks.
    • Reduced skin tone-related channels to focus on lesion areas.
    • Applied the method to VGG11 and ViT-B16 models.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved 15-20% improvement in fairness metrics on average.
    • Maintained accuracy and F1-score within 0.01 of the baseline.
    • Reduced model size by 16% (VGG11) and memory footprint (ViT-B16).

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed algorithm effectively mitigates bias in skin lesion classification across different skin tones.
    • The method enhances fairness and efficiency without requiring skin tone labels at inference.
    • This approach offers a practical solution for equitable AI in dermatology.
