Advanced Visual Turing Test For Validation And Responsible Use Of Synthetic Dermoscopic Images Of Melanoma And Atypical Nevi In Medicine

Introduction

Dermoscopy is essential for the early diagnosis of melanoma. AI algorithms integrated into videodermatoscopes can support dermatologists in distinguishing atypical nevi from early melanomas in real time, yet their development is consistently hampered by the scarcity of large, annotated dermoscopic datasets. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) offer a promising solution through synthetic data augmentation, though their clinical validation remains a significant methodological challenge.
