- Abstract summary: We consider machine-learning-based malignancy prediction and lesion identification from clinical dermatological images.
We first identify all lesions present in the image regardless of sub-type or likelihood of malignancy, then it estimates their likelihood of malignancy, and through aggregation, it also generates an image-level likelihood of malignancy.

- Abstract: We consider machine-learning-based malignancy prediction and lesion
identification from clinical dermatological images, which can be indistinctly
acquired via smartphone or dermoscopy capture. Additionally, we do not assume
that images contain single lesions, thus the framework supports both focal or
wide-field images. Specifically, we propose a two-stage approach in which we
first identify all lesions present in the image regardless of sub-type or
likelihood of malignancy, then it estimates their likelihood of malignancy, and
through aggregation, it also generates an image-level likelihood of malignancy
that can be used for high-level screening processes. Further, we consider
augmenting the proposed approach with clinical covariates (from electronic
health records) and publicly available data (the ISIC dataset). Comprehensive
experiments validated on an independent test dataset demonstrate that i) the
proposed approach outperforms alternative model architectures; ii) the model
based on images outperforms a pure clinical model by a large margin, and the
combination of images and clinical data does not significantly improves over
the image-only model; and iii) the proposed framework offers comparable
performance in terms of malignancy classification relative to three board
certified dermatologists with different levels of experience.

Disease diagnosis methods guided by contrastive learning (CL) have shown significant advantages in lesion feature representation.
We propose a clinical-oriented multi-level CL framework that aims to enhance the model's capacity to extract lesion features.

Visual attribution in medical imaging seeks to make evident the diagnostically-relevant components of a medical image.
We here present a novel generative visual attribution technique, one that leverages latent diffusion models in combination with domain-specific large language models.
The resulting system also exhibits a range of latent capabilities including zero-shot localized disease induction.

We propose ARCO, a semi-supervised contrastive learning framework with stratified group theory for medical image segmentation.

We experimentally validate our approaches on eight benchmarks, i.e., five 2D/3D medical and three semantic segmentation datasets, with different label settings.
