Dermoscopy is the in vivo technique of skin surface microscopy which is frequently used in visual examination of the skin. With the rise in the usage of smartphones, many smartphone attachments have been developed that enable dermoscopy on a phone but these attachments are very expensive and are available only for high-end phones. We have developed a novel 3D printed clip-on that can convert any smartphone...
Dermoscopy is a non-invasive in vivo technique to help visualize morphological structures on the surface and subsurface of the skin, non-visible with the naked eye. It is tipically used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pigmented skin lesions and skin tumors, but in recent years its use has been extended to other dermatological conditions. The use of polarized light in dermoscopy allows a better...
Dermoscopy image is usually used in early diagnosis of malignant melanoma. The diagnosis accuracy by visual inspection is highly relied on the dermatologist's clinical experience. Due to the inaccuracy, subjectivity, and poor reproducibility of human judgement, an automatic recognition algorithm of dermoscopy image is highly desired. In this work, we present a hybrid classification framework for dermoscopy...
In this study, we investigate what a practically useful approach is in order to achieve robust skin disease diagnosis. A direct approach is to target the ground truth diagnosis labels, while an alternative approach instead focuses on determining skin lesion characteristics that are more visually consistent and discernible. We argue that, for computer aided skin disease diagnosis, it is both more realistic...
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease that spreads worldwide and damages the skin or other body tissues. However, normal visual clinical examination is not always sufficient to determine the feature of the lesions. In this research, we focus on a background removal method that support to enhance the ratio contrast of scalingagainst erythema to skin background in polarized psoriasis images. Those...
Worldwide, it is believed that there are between 1000 to 2000 skin conditions of which 20% are difficult to diagnose. An intelligent computer-aided diagnosing system not only helps patients with no or little access to health services but also can benefit typical general practitioners, who have received minimal dermatology training. We have built a challenging dataset containing 2309 images from 44...
It is believed that there are between 1000 to 2000 skin conditions, and about 20% are difficult to diagnose. An intelligent system capable of making accurate diagnosis not only helps patients in places where access to health services are scarce, but also benefits typical general practitioners who have received minimal dermatology training. In this paper, we introduce a challenging dataset developed...
Researchers have portrayed an increasing effort towards providing formal computational frameworks to consolidate the plethora of notions and relations used in the medical domain. Despite the fact that there are many reasons for this, the need for standardization of protocols and terminology is critical, not only for the provision of uniform levels of health care, but also to facilitate medical science...
