• Abstract: The surge in developing deep learning models for diagnosing skin lesions through image analysis is notable, yet their clinical black faces challenges. Current dermatology AI models have limitations: limited number of possible diagnostic outputs, lack of real-world testing on uncommon skin lesions, inability to detect out-of-distribution images, and over-reliance on dermoscopic images. To address these, we present an All-In-One \textbf{H}ierarchical-\textbf{O}ut of Distribution-\textbf{C}linical Triage (HOT) model. For a clinical image, our model generates three outputs: a hierarchical prediction, an alert for out-of-distribution images, and a recommendation for dermoscopy if clinical image alone is insufficient for diagnosis. When the recommendation is pursued, it integrates both clinical and dermoscopic images to deliver final diagnosis. Extensive experiments on a representative cutaneous lesion dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and synergy of each component within our framework. Our versatile model provides valuable decision support for lesion diagnosis and sets a promising precedent for medical AI applications.

  Diffusion Model (DM) has become a leading method in generating synthetic medical images, but it suffers from a critical twofold bias. We propose FairSkin, a novel DM framework that mitigates these biases through a three-level resampling mechanism. Our approach significantly improves the diversity and quality of generated images, contributing to more equitable skin disease detection in clinical settings.
