Tackling the Problem of Data Imbalancing for Melanoma Classification
2016
Comunicació de congrés presentada a: 3rd International Conference on Bioimaging, BIOIMAGING 2016 - Part of 9th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, BIOSTEC 2016, Roma, Italy Malignant melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, yet melanoma is the most treatable kind of cancer when diagnosed at an early stage. In this regard, Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems based on machine learning have been developed to discern melanoma lesions from benign and dysplastic nevi in dermoscopic images. Similar to a large range of real world applications encountered in machine learning, melanoma classification faces the challenge of imbalanced data, where …
Two-Step Digital Follow-up of Patients at High Risk for Melanoma: a Retrospective Analysis of 152 Patients
2021
Antecedentes: La dermatoscopia digitalizada (DD) ha demostrado mejorar la precisión en el diagnóstico del melanoma (MM) en pacientes de alto riesgo. La combinación de DD y fotografía corporal total (FCT) puede facilitar la detección de nuevas lesiones o la aparición de cambios macroscópicos precoces en lesiones previamente registradas. Objetivos: El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el número de biopsias necesarias para diagnosticar un MM y, las características clínicas y dermatoscópicas asociadas al diagnóstico de melanoma en pacientes en seguimiento, mediante DD y FCT, de lesiones pigmentadas. Pacientes y métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de 152 pacientes con elevado…
Evaluation of skin erythema severity by dermatoscopy in dogs with atopic dermatitis
2021
To estimate the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis (AD)-related skin lesions, clinical trials enrolling dogs with AD often use categorical scales such as the Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index, 4To validate an optical set-up with a smartphone and a dermatoscope for the objective estimation of skin erythema severity in atopic dogs.Forty-three dogs with AD.An erythema index (EI) was calculated from calibrated skin images and compared to the dermatologist's erythema severity estimate using the erythema grading scale used in the CADESI-04, as well as an ad hoc Visual Analog Scale (VAS) with a continuous palette of red shades.We found a strong correlation based on the Spear…
Trichoscopy features of trichotillomania
2019
Trichotillomania is a form of traction alopecia resulting from repetitive and compulsive hair pulling and plucking. Trichotillomania and patchy alopecia areata may have similar clinical and dermoscopic features in some cases. On trichoscopic examination, the presence of black dots, coiled or hook hair, shafts of varying lengths with fraying or split ends (trichoptilosis), and an absence of exclamation mark hairs and yellow dots are suggestive of trichotillomania.
