Abstract

Background Rosacea is one of the most common cutaneous disorder characterized primarily by facial flushing, erythema, papules, pustules, telangiectases, and nasal swelling. Diagnosis of rosacea is principally done by a physical examination and a consistent patient history. However, qualitative human assessment is often subjective and suffers from a relatively high intra- and inter-observer variability in evaluating patient outcomes. Materials and methods To overcome these problems, we propose a quantitative and reproducible computer-aided diagnosis system, Ros-NET, which integrates information from different image scales and resolutions in order to identify rosacea lesions. This involves adaption of Inception-ResNet-v2 and ResNet-101 to extract rosacea features from facial images. Additionally, we propose to refine the detection results by means of facial-landmarks-based zones (ie, anthropometric landmarks) as regions of interest (ROI), which focus on typical areas of rosacea occurrence on a face. Results Using a leave-one-patient-out cross-validation scheme, the weighted average Dice coefficients, in percentages, across all patients (N = 41) with 256 × 256 image patches are 89.8 ± 2.6% and 87.8 ± 2.4% with Inception-ResNet-v2 and ResNet-101, respectively. Conclusion The findings from this study support that pre-trained networks trained via transfer learning can be beneficial in identifying rosacea lesions. Our future work will involve expanding the work to a larger database…

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Image-based deep learning models such as RosNet and FACES have been developed to classify rosacea.

    “A few studies developed image-based deep learning models to classify rosacea, such as RosNet (adapted from Inception-ResNet-v2) and FACES (an ensemble deep learning model) (Binol et al, 2020; Park et al, 2023).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
