RESEARCH ON MELANOCITIC SKIN LESION INFOBASE ENLARGEMENT – NEW FACTS AND CONCEPTS

Abstract

The melanocytic skin lesion infobase, available at http://synthesis.melanoma.pl (also http://synteza.melanoma.pl, in Polish; referred to as INP) is currently undergoing a complete modification of the way in which (i) the internal synthesis algorithms and (ii) the classification of lesions are performed. We investigated 29 new real images of melanocytic skin lesions, focusing on how humans perform classification based on experience. In conclusion we suggest to add a new color – connected with the depth of a lesion – to the K term of Asymmetry (A), Border (B) and linear Combination of colors and structures (K) method (referred to as ABK).
