We Propose a Deep Learning Approach to Segment the Skin Lesion in Dermoscopic Images. the Proposed Network Architecture Uses a Pretrained Efficient Net Model in the Encoder and Squeeze-And-Excitation Residual Structures in the Decoder. We Applied This Approach on the Publicly Available International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) 2017 Challenge Skin Lesion Segmentation Dataset. This Benchmark Dataset Has Been Widely Used in Previous Studies. We Observed Many Inaccurate or Noisy Ground Truth Labels. to Reduce Noisy Data, We Manually Sorted All Ground Truth Labels into Three Categories — Good, Mildly Noisy, and Noisy Labels. Furthermore, We Investigated the Effect of Such …

Background Seborrheic keratoses are the most common skin lesions known to contain small white or yellow structures called milia-like cysts (MLCs). Varied appearances can sometimes make it difficult to differentiate benign lesions from malignant lesions such as melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer found in humans. Objective the purpose of this study was to determine the statistical occurrence of MLCs in benign vs. malignant lesions. Methods a medical student with 10 months experience in examining approximately 1000 dermoscopy images and a dermoscopy-naïve observer analyzed contact non-polarized dermoscopy images of 221 malignant melanomas and 175 seborrheic keratoses for presence of …
