At present, cancer is one of the most important health issues in the world. Because early detection and appropriate treatment in cancer are very effective in the recovery and survival of patients, image processing as a diagnostic tool can…
Skin cancer holds the highest incidence rate among all cancers globally. The importance of early detection cannot be overstated, as late-stage cases can be lethal. Classifying skin lesions, however, presents several challenges due to the…
The presence of certain clinical dermoscopic features within a skin lesion may indicate melanoma, and automatically detecting these features may lead to more quantitative and reproducible diagnoses. We reformulate the task of classifying…
In this paper, a novel approach for automatic segmentation and classification of skin lesions is proposed. Initially, skin images are filtered to remove unwanted hairs and noise and then the segmentation process is carried out to extract…
Skin lesion segmentation is a vital task in skin cancer diagnosis and further treatment. Although deep learning based approaches have significantly improved the segmentation accuracy, these algorithms are still reliant on having a large…
Skin lesion identification is a key step toward dermatological diagnosis. When describing a skin lesion, it is very important to note its body site distribution as many skin diseases commonly affect particular parts of the body. To exploit…
Early detection of malignant skin lesions is critical for improving patient outcomes in aggressive, metastatic skin cancers. This study evaluates a comprehensive system for preliminary skin lesion assessment that combines the clinically…
Skin lesion segmentation is an important step for automatic melanoma diagnosis. Due to the non-negligible diversity of lesions from different patients, extracting powerful context for fine-grained semantic segmentation is still challenging…
Accurate segmentation of skin lesions within dermoscopic images plays a crucial role in the timely identification of skin cancer for computer-aided diagnosis on mobile platforms. However, varying shapes of the lesions, lack of defined…
Skin cancer is the most common human malignancy(American Cancer Society) which is primarily diagnosed visually, starting with an initial clinical screening and followed potentially by dermoscopic(related to skin) analysis, a biopsy and…
Today, skin cancer is considered as one of the most dangerous and common cancers in the world which demands special attention. Skin cancer may be developed in different types; including melanoma, actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma,…
As melanoma diagnoses increase across the US, automated efforts to identify malignant lesions become increasingly of interest to the research community. Segmentation of dermoscopic images is the first step in this process, thus accuracy is…
Skin lesions are an increasingly significant medical concern, varying widely in severity from benign to cancerous. Accurate diagnosis is essential for ensuring timely and appropriate treatment. This study examines the implementation of deep…
This report describes our submission to the ISIC 2017 Challenge in Skin Lesion Analysis Towards Melanoma Detection. We have participated in the Part 3: Lesion Classification with a system for automatic diagnosis of nevus, melanoma and…
Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and its incidence is projected to rise over the next decade. Artificial intelligence is a viable solution to the issue of providing quality care to patients in areas lacking access to…
For several skin conditions such as vitiligo, accurate segmentation of lesions from skin images is the primary measure of disease progression and severity. Existing methods for vitiligo lesion segmentation require manual intervention.…
One of the essential tasks in medical image analysis is segmentation and accurate detection of borders. Lesion segmentation in skin images is an essential step in the computerized detection of skin cancer. However, many of the…
In this paper, the effectiveness and capability of convolutional neural networks have been studied in the classification of 8 skin diseases. Different pre-trained state-of-the-art architectures (DenseNet 201, ResNet 152, Inception v3,…
Deep learning implemented with convolutional network architectures can exceed specialists' diagnostic accuracy. However, whole-image deep learning trained on a given dataset may not generalize to other datasets. The problem arises because…
In this report we propose a classification technique for skin lesion images as a part of our submission for ISIC 2018 Challenge in Skin Lesion Analysis Towards Melanoma Detection. Our data was extracted from the ISIC 2018: Skin Lesion…
