Towards a computer-aided diagnosis system for pigmented skin lesions.
This paper presents a computer-aided diagnosis system for pigmented skin lesions, with solutions for the lesion boundary detection and for the quantification of the degree of symmetry. Lesion detection results were validated by expert dermatologists, who also provided hand-drawn boundaries of the lesions. These reference boundaries were not used as a gold standard, but were allowed to statistic...
متن کاملComputer-aided Decision Support System for Classification of Pigmented Skin Lesions
Computer-aided decision support systems (CAD-SS) are widely used for providing clinical decision to medical experts. A few CAD-SS systems are developed to diagnosis all categories of pigmented skin lesions (PSLs) using dermoscopy images. These systems are limited to specific categories of PSLs, computationally slow and defined non-effective visual features. In this paper, an improved CAD-SS sys...
متن کاملComputer image analysis of pigmented skin lesions.
To assist in the distinction of melanoma from benign pigmented lesions, an imaging system was developed, comprising a frame grabber, a microcomputer, a colour video camera and flash lighting with red, green and infrared filters. Over an 18-month period, video images of 70 unselected pigmented lesions for which complete diagnostic data were available, were successfully captured using the camera....
متن کاملAutomated 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 کاملComputer-Aided Diagnosis of Skin Lesions Using Conventional Digital Photography: A Reliability and Feasibility Study
BACKGROUND Computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) software that provides a second opinion has been widely used to assist physicians with various tasks. In dermatology, however, CADx has been mostly limited to melanoma or melanocytic skin cancer diagnosis. The frequency of non-melanocytic skin cancers and the accessibility of regular digital macrographs have raised interest in developing CADx for broad...
