| contents | 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; prospective single-centre validation across four "Melanoma Day" sessions (Orel, Russia, June 2025 - April 2026).
Results. On 176 patients: agreement with expert assessment 88.6%; no false negatives among 5 malignant lesions (95% CI: 47.8-100.0%); specificity 88.3%. Three melanomas and two basal cell carcinomas were histologically confirmed; six dysplastic naevi placed under follow-up. Mean IoU (n=180): ViT - 0.69; Swin - 0.64; ConvNeXt - 0.53; EfficientNetV2 - 0.51. Routing thresholds: P<0.15 / 0.15-0.50 / >=0.50.
Conclusion. No false negatives were observed; specificity was 88.3%, supporting screening use. The integrated cascade classification, attention map visualisation with IoU assessment, and three-zone routing provide reproducible, interpretable clinical decision support adaptable to varying resource levels. |
