The goal of this volume is to summarize the state-of-the-art in the
utilization of computer vision techniques in the diagnosis of skin
cancer. Malignant melanoma is one of the most rapidly increasing
cancers in the world. Early diagnosis is particularly important
since melanoma can be cured with a simple excision if detected
early. In recent years, dermoscopy has proved valuable in
visualizing the morphological structures in pigmented lesions.
However, it has also been shown that dermoscopy is difficult to
learn and subjective. Newer technologies such as infrared imaging,
multispectral imaging, and confocal microscopy, have recently come
to the forefront in providing greater diagnostic accuracy. These
imaging technologies presented in this book can serve as an adjunct
to physicians and provide automated skin cancer screening. Although
computerized techniques cannot as yet provide a definitive
diagnosis, they can be used to improve biopsy decision-making as
well as early melanoma detection, especially for patients with
multiple atypical nevi.
