Melanoma Classification on Dermoscopy Images Using a Neural Network Ensemble Model.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
We develop a novel method for classifying melanocytic tumors as benign or malignant by the analysis of digital dermoscopy images. The algorithm follows three steps: first, lesions are extracted using a self-generating neural network (SGNN); second, f...

Unsupervised delineation of stratum corneum using reflectance confocal microscopy and spectral clustering.

Skin research and technology : official journal of International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin (ISBS) [and] International Society for Digital Imaging of Skin (ISDIS) [and] International Society for Skin Imaging (ISSI)
BACKGROUND: Measuring the thickness of the stratum corneum (SC) in vivo is often required in pharmacological, dermatological, and cosmetological studies. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) offers a non-invasive imaging-based approach. However, RCM...

Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Micro-Malignant Melanoma Lesions Applying Support Vector Machines.

BioMed research international
Background. One of the fatal disorders causing death is malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The aim of the modern dermatology is the early detection of skin cancer, which usually results in reducing the mortality rate and less exte...

Adaptable texture-based segmentation by variance and intensity for automatic detection of semitranslucent and pink blush areas in basal cell carcinoma.

Skin research and technology : official journal of International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin (ISBS) [and] International Society for Digital Imaging of Skin (ISDIS) [and] International Society for Skin Imaging (ISSI)
BACKGROUND: Pink blush is a common feature in basal cell carcinoma (BCC). A related feature, semitranslucency, appears as smooth pink or orange regions resembling skin color. We introduce an automatic method for detection of these features based on s...

Real-time supervised detection of pink areas in dermoscopic images of melanoma: importance of color shades, texture and location.

Skin research and technology : official journal of International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin (ISBS) [and] International Society for Digital Imaging of Skin (ISDIS) [and] International Society for Skin Imaging (ISSI)
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Early detection of malignant melanoma is an important public health challenge. In the USA, dermatologists are seeing more melanomas at an early stage, before classic melanoma features have become apparent. Pink color is a feature ...

Four-class classification of skin lesions with task decomposition strategy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This paper proposes a new computer-aided method for the skin lesion classification applicable to both melanocytic skin lesions (MSLs) and nonmelanocytic skin lesions (NoMSLs). The computer-aided skin lesion classification has drawn attention as an ai...

Early diagnosis model of mycosis fungoides and five inflammatory skin diseases based on a multimodal data-based convolutional neural network.

The British journal of dermatology
BACKGROUND: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and early-stage MF is difficult to differentiate from erythematous inflammatory disease. With the exception of biopsy, noninvasive information such as a patient'...

Establishment of an intelligent analysis system for clinical image features of melanonychia based on deep learning image segmentation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Melanonychia, a condition that can be indicative of malignant melanoma, presents a significant challenge in early diagnosis due to the invasive nature and equipment dependency of traditional diagnostic methods such as nail biopsy and dermatoscope ima...

Self-supervised multi-modality learning for multi-label skin lesion classification.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: The clinical diagnosis of skin lesions involves the analysis of dermoscopic and clinical modalities. Dermoscopic images provide detailed views of surface structures, while clinical images offer complementary macroscopic information. Clini...

Dermatologist-like explainable AI enhances melanoma diagnosis accuracy: eye-tracking study.

Nature communications
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems substantially improve dermatologists' diagnostic accuracy for melanoma, with explainable AI (XAI) systems further enhancing their confidence and trust in AI-driven decisions. Despite these advancements, there rema...
