Skin Lesion Classification (Benign vs Malignant)

⚠️ MEDICAL & REGULATORY DISCLAIMER

This model is for educational and research purposes only.

Must NOT be used in real-world/clinical applications (screening, triage, diagnosis, or treatment).

Not a medical device and not reviewed/approved by any regulator (e.g., FDA/MHRA).

Outputs must NOT replace clinical judgment. All suspicious lesions should be evaluated by a qualified clinician.

Model Description

This model classifies dermoscopic images of skin lesions as benign or malignant using a fine-tuned ResNet50 architecture.

Architecture: ResNet50 (pre-trained on ImageNet) + Custom Classification Head
Task: Binary Classification (Benign vs Malignant)
Dataset: HAM10000 (10,015 dermoscopic images)
Training: 25 epochs, Intel Core i5-12500H (CPU), ~4.5 hours
Input: 224×224×3 RGB images
Parameters: 24.7M total (15.6M trainable, 63.1%)

Performance Metrics (Test Set - 1,505 images)

Metric	Value
Accuracy	81.59%
ROC-AUC	0.8900
PR-AUC	0.6602
Precision	0.5121
Recall	0.8056
Loss	0.4426

Clinical Interpretation:

High Recall (80.56%): Catches 80% of malignant lesions (crucial for screening)
Moderate Precision (51.21%): Some false positives (acceptable for medical screening)
Strong ROC-AUC (0.89): Excellent discrimination ability

Scope & Limitations (optional to keep)

Trained on HAM10000 dermoscopic images; may not generalize to other image types, devices, clinics, or skin tones.
Binary prediction (malignant vs. benign); chosen threshold strongly affects precision/recall.

Dataset

HAM10000: Human Against Machine with 10,000 training images

10,015 dermoscopic images
7 lesion types collapsed into binary labels:
- Benign: nv (melanocytic nevi), bkl (benign keratosis), df (dermatofibroma), vasc (vascular lesions)
