In dermatology, deep learning may be applied for skin lesion classification. However, for a given input image, a neural network only outputs a label, obtained using the class probabilities, which do not model uncertainty. Our group developed a novel method to quantify uncertainty in stochastic neural networks.

Background: Early detection of skin cancer is still a major challenge in dermatology practice today. While surveillance programs are offered to high-risk patients, systematic total-body examination (TBE) in the general population is not cost-effective. In the past, we demonstrated that a lesion-directed screening (LDS) in the general population delivered similar detection rates to TBE and was less time-consuming.

One month after surgery, the patient was admitted to the hospital with a spontaneous drainage of the wound and complaints of aggravating pain in the operated shoulder. There was no history of an immunosuppressive disease or therapy.
