Computer-aided detection and segmentation of malignant melanoma lesions on whole-body F-FDG PET/CT using an interpretable deep learning approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In oncology, 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) / computed tomography (CT) is widely used to identify and analyse metabolically-active tumours. The combination of the high sensitivity and specif...

Prognostic Value of Vitamin D Serum Levels in Cutaneous Melanoma.

Actas dermo-sifiliograficas
INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D plays a fundamental role in many metabolic pathways, including those involved in cell proliferation and the immune response. Serum levels of this vitamin have been linked to melanoma risk and prognosis. This study aimed to ass...

Detection of malignant melanoma in H&E-stained images using deep learning techniques.

Tissue & cell
Histopathological images are widely used to diagnose diseases including skin cancer. As digital histopathological images are typically of very large size, in the order of several billion pixels, automated identification of all abnormal cell nuclei an...

Ultra-high-frequency ultrasound and machine learning approaches for the differential diagnosis of melanocytic lesions.

Experimental dermatology
Malignant melanoma (MM) is one of the most dangerous skin cancers. The aim of this study was to present a potential new method for the differential diagnosis of MM from melanocytic naevi (MN). We examined 20 MM and 19 MN with a new ultra-high-frequen...

Review of medical image recognition technologies to detect melanomas using neural networks.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of cancer that has become a world-class problem. According to the World Health Organization estimates, 132,000 cases of the disease and 66,000 deaths from malignant melanoma and other forms of ...

New Auxiliary Function with Properties in Nonsmooth Global Optimization for Melanoma Skin Cancer Segmentation.

BioMed research international
In this paper, an algorithm is introduced to solve the global optimization problem for melanoma skin cancer segmentation. The algorithm is based on the smoothing of an auxiliary function that is constructed using a known local minimizer and smoothed ...

Histopathology-guided mass spectrometry differentiates benign nevi from malignant melanoma.

Journal of cutaneous pathology
PURPOSE: Distinguishing benign nevi from malignant melanoma using current histopathological criteria may be very challenging and is one the most difficult areas in dermatopathology. The goal of this study was to identify proteomic differences, which ...

Gabor wavelet-based deep learning for skin lesion classification.

Computers in biology and medicine
Skin cancer cases are increasing and becoming one of the main problems worldwide. Skin cancer is known as a malignant type of skin lesion, and early detection and treatment are necessary. Malignant melanoma and seborrheic keratosis are known as commo...
