Computer-aided melanoma diagnosis

SpectraCam®: A new polarized hyperspectral imaging system for repeatable and reproducible in vivo skin quantification of melanin, total hemoglobin, and oxygen saturation

“…Another option for determining skin chromophores distribution is to use several narrow spectral bands as in the multispectral imaging system. 9 This approach presents the advantage of offering spatial information allowing to visualize chromophore distribution. A key point is then to accurately compute pigment concentration from reflectance images.…”

Skin cancer detection using non-invasive techniques

“…Reported the computer-aided diagnosis for the pigmentations of skin lesions to determine the presence of skin cancer by performing the boundary detection. 35 Skin lesions can also be analysed by qualication of degree of symmetry. The other paper explains Found that combination of total body examination, TBP and dermoscopy provides accurate result in detecting the early stage of melanoma that melanoma can be diagnosed by wavelet and texture analysis.…”

Millimeter-Wave Tissue Diagnosis: The Most Promising Fields for Medical Applications

“…A diagnostic tool, which increases patient throughput in skin cancer screening and improves the diagnostic accuracy, would help to detect tumors before they metastasize and also to cut the numbers of unnecessary biopsies. Despite substantial research, diagnosis techniques such as impedance spectroscopy [119], multispectral imaging [120], confocal laser scanning microscopy [121], infrared spectroscopy [122], and Raman spectroscopy [123] have not yet made a breakthrough into clinical use and visual inspection remains the main diagnostic procedure. Millimeter-wave skin cancer diagnosis could fill the gap.…”
