Repeated Dermoscopic Images of Melanocytic Lesions

We conducted a prospective, observational clinical cohort study to assess the consistency of two commercially available convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in classifying melanoma risk of five sequentially acquired dermoscopic images of melanocytic lesions on the torso. 117 repeat image series of 116 melanocytic lesions from 66 patients were included. Biopsies were performed in cases of suspected melanoma or two consecutive elevated CNN risk scores. Expert consensus including 1-year follow-up images (where available) confirmed benign dignity of lesions without histological assessment.
