MDSkin-Net: Multi-Task Skin Lesion Analysis Driven by Pattern Analysis Priors and Spatial Alignment Regularization
MDSkin-Net is a multi‑task skin lesion analysis framework that integrates Pattern Analysis priors into a hybrid CNN‑Transformer architecture. It introduces a Pattern Analysis‑Guided Attention Module (PAGAM) with improved Efficient Channel Attention, Multi‑Scale Spatial Attention, and Biased Asymmetry Attention, along with a multi‑scale spatial alignment regularization that uses segmentation masks as soft supervision. Trained only on the ISIC 2017 training split, the model achieves high segmentation and classification performance on multiple datasets, demonstrating strong zero‑shot generalization across different cohorts.

InstEditSeg: Instruction-Driven Image Editing for Polyp and Skin Lesion Segmentation
InstEditSeg is a generative framework that treats medical segmentation as an instruction-driven image editing task. Instead of producing binary masks, it renders a color-coded overlay on the original image guided by textual instructions, leveraging latent diffusion models to align with natural image distributions and reduce domain gaps. The method incorporates a DINOv3 visual encoder and a multi-scale feature pyramid fused into the diffusion U‑Net, and uses a dual‑branch classifier‑free guidance strategy to lower inference cost, achieving competitive accuracy on polyp and skin lesion datasets while improving cross‑domain generalization and multi‑lesion segmentation.

Bridging Research and Practice: A Systematic Evaluation of Generalist and Dermatology-Specific Models in Clinical Skin Lesion Classification
The paper evaluates how well generalist and dermatology-specific machine learning models perform on diverse skin lesion datasets, including dermoscopic images and smartphone photographs. It benchmarks a range of architectures—general-purpose vision-language models, foundation models, and task-specific dermatology classifiers—under conditions of distribution shift, modality change, and demographic variability. The study quantifies the performance gap between current state‑of‑the‑art models and the robustness needed for safe, equitable clinical deployment.
