I like the project! Congrats on the launch.

As I understand it, size is one of the key indicators of melanoma. But in some of these images, it’s difficult to tell whether the mole is 1 mm or 10 mm. I assume your image set doesn’t include size information. If you can find sources with rulers or some kind of scale, that would be very helpful.

I will have a look at this and include the size if it is possible
Many of the images do include a size, see https://api.isic-archive.com/images/?query=clin_size_long_di....

FWIW @sungam - I'm one of the maintainers of the ISIC Archive, so feel free to let me know if finding/downloading data could be made easier. It's always interesting to see people using our data in the wild :)

Thanks for this - and thanks for maintaining this incredibly useful resource. What would be the best way to contact you?
