A mathematical analysis of the ABCD criteria for diagnosing malignant melanoma

Abstract: The medical community currently employs the ABCD (asymmetry, border irregularity, color variegation, and diameter of the lesion) criteria in the early diagnosis of a malignant melanoma. Although many image segmentation and classification methods are used to analyze the ABCD criteria, it is rare to see a study containing mathematical justification of the parameters that are used to quantify the ABCD criteria. In this paper, we suggest new parameters to assess asymmetry, border irregularity, and color variegatio… Show more

“…It enables magnified visualization of the skin fragment, measurement of the nevi size, and to make a judgment on its benign or malignant form. The attributes of melanoma-evaluated nevi are known as ABCD, which stands for asymmetry, border irregularity, color, and diameter [9]. Moreover, the growth of the nevi in size, compared with the former examination result, is also used as an indicator of possible malignancy.…”
