MED-NODE: A computer-assisted melanoma diagnosis system using non-dermoscopic images

作者：

Highlights：

• Melanoma is an aggressive type of skin difficult to differentiate from benign naevi.

• We present an expert system that assists physicians with this task.

• The system uses color and texture lesion descriptors from non-dermoscopic images.

• The system also uses a set of visual attributes provided by the examining physician.

• The proposed system achieves high diagnostic accuracy results (81%).
