Clinical Validation of the Melanoscope AI Mobile Dermoscopy Clinical Decision Support System 文章

arXiv:2605.27561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Introduction. Early detection of malignant skin lesions is critical for prognosis, yet dermatologist shortages in Russian regions limit screening coverage. Mobile dermoscopy clinical decision support systems (CDSS) offer a promising approach, with model interpretability and standardised patient routing remaining key barriers to adoption. Aim. To develop a quantitative interpretability assessment method for cascade deep learning models and a three-zone patient routing algorithm, and to conduct a preliminary single-centre prospective clinical validation of the Melanoscope AI CDSS in Russian outpatient practice. Material and methods. Two-stage cascade classification of dermoscopic images; attention map visualisation (attention rollout for ViT and Swin; Grad-CAM for ConvNeXt and EfficientNetV2); quantitative IoU-based agreement assessment between activation maps and expert annotations;
