Abstract
Information technology offers great potential for healthcare applications. Modern medicine is increasingly taking advantage of digital imaging and computer-assisted diagnosis. Dermatology is no different. Digital dermatoscopy is emerging as the standard for diagnosis of cutaneous lesions. High quality digital images allow dermatologists to improve accuracy, and to assess the evolution of lesions. However, state-of-the-art technology fails to support dermatologists in daily practice: the available systems on the market increase average visit time, and are expensive. Enabling a highly efficient use of the digital dermatoscope will shorten average visit time, and thus allow screening a higher portion of the population at risk with higher frequencyFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
