Development of a clinically oriented system for melanoma diagnosis

作者:

Highlights:

• A clinically computer aided diagnosis system is proposed for melanoma diagnosis.

• The system diagnoses the lesions using features that have a medical meaning.

• The system learns to detect various relevant dermoscopic criteria using text labels.

• An image annotation method is used to associate image regions with the criteria.

• Feature fusion is used to combine medical information and diagnose the lesions.
