Automated diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions.
Since advanced melanoma remains practically incurable, early detection is an important step toward a reduction in mortality. High expectations are entertained for a technique known as dermoscopy or epiluminescence light microscopy; however, evaluation of pigmented skin lesions by this method is often extremely complex and subjective. To obviate the problem of qualitative interpretation, methods...
متن کاملAutomated Dermoscopy Image Analysis of Pigmented Skin Lesions
Dermoscopy (dermatoscopy, epiluminescence microscopy) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique for the in vivo observation of pigmented skin lesions (PSLs), allowing a better visualization of surface and subsurface structures (from the epidermis to the papillary dermis). This diagnostic tool permits the recognition of morphologic structures not visible by the naked eye, thus opening a new dimensi...
متن کاملAutomated segmentation of pigmented skin lesions in multispectral imaging.
The aim of this study was to develop an algorithm for the automatic segmentation of multispectral images of pigmented skin lesions. The study involved 1700 patients with 1856 cutaneous pigmented lesions, which were analysed in vivo by a novel spectrophotometric system, before excision. The system is able to acquire a set of 15 different multispectral images at equally spaced wavelengths between...
متن کاملDermoscopy of pigmented skin lesions.
Dermoscopy is an in vivo method for the early diagnosis of malignant melanoma and the differential diagnosis of pigmented lesions of the skin. It has been shown to increase diagnostic accuracy over clinical visual inspection in the hands of experienced physicians. This article is a review of the principles of dermoscopy as well as recent technological developments.
متن کاملPigmented lesions of the skin
Whether the diagnosis of any particular nevus is problematic or not depends upon a variety of factors, including the experience and enthusiasm of the pathologist, the nature of the specimen (shave vs. punch vs. excisional), the quality of the sections (and their staining), the hour of the day or day of the week in addition to the problems relating to the ever-increasing range of histological va...
