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...

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...
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...

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...
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'...

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...
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...
