Skin is the outermost and largest organ of the human body that protects us from the external agents. Among the various types of diseases affecting the skin, melanoma (skin cancer) is the most dangerous and deadliest disease. Though it is one of the d...
Skin conditions affect 1.9 billion people. Because of a shortage of dermatologists, most cases are seen instead by general practitioners with lower diagnostic accuracy. We present a deep learning system (DLS) to provide a differential diagnosis of sk...

PURPOSE: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the number of diagnosis is growing worldwide due to increased exposure to solar radiation and the aging population. Reduction of positive margin rates when removing BCC lea...
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 ...

Although deep learning algorithms have demonstrated expert-level performance, previous efforts were mostly binary classifications of limited disorders. We trained an algorithm with 220,680 images of 174 disorders and validated it using Edinburgh (1,3...
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...
