Clinical treatment of skin lesion is primarily dependent on timely detection and delimitation of lesion boundaries for accurate cancerous region localization. Prevalence of skin cancer is on the higher side, especially that of melanoma, which is aggr...
BACKGROUND: Melanoma results in the vast majority of skin cancer deaths during the last decades, even though this disease accounts for only one percent of all skin cancers' instances. The survival rates of melanoma from early to terminal stages is mo...

One of the essential tasks in medical image analysis is segmentation and accurate detection of borders. Lesion segmentation in skin images is an essential step in the computerized detection of skin cancer. However, many of the state-of-the-art segmen...
IMPORTANCE: A high proportion of suspicious pigmented skin lesions referred for investigation are benign. Techniques to improve the accuracy of melanoma diagnoses throughout the patient pathway are needed to reduce the pressure on secondary care and ...
