چکیده
A technique for structurally decomposing skin is presented in the form of SIAscopy. Its use in removing some of the subjective decisions required to diagnose melanoma at an early stage is discussed. An increase in the diagnostic accuracy for melanoma diagnosis is shown.

Background: The most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). AKIEC -Actinic keratoses (Solar keratoses) and intraepithelial carcinoma (Bowen’s disease)- are common non-invasive precursors of SCC, which may progress to invasive SCC, if left untreated. Due to the importance of early detection in cancer treatment, this study aimed...
متن کاملAspects on in vivo imaging techniques for diagnostics of pigmented skin lesions
Problem: Non-invasive diagnostic techniques to facilitate diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions (PSL) are being developed. Dermoscopy and SIAscopy are two such techniques, and they are evaluated in this thesis. Aims: Pp I: To investigate if primary care physicians (PCPs) improve their ability to diagnose melanoma using dermoscopy after a short education intervention. Pp II: To describe relevant m...
متن کاملAssessment of SIAscopy in the triage of suspicious skin tumours.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous Analysis (SIAscopy) is a non-invasive, computerized technique for the diagnosis of pigmented skin tumours. The analysis is based on the evaluation of skin chromophores, i.e. melanin, haemoglobin and collagen within the epidermis and papillary dermis. Our aim was to assess the diagnostic validity of SIAscopy in the detection of melanoma and no...

SIAscopy – Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous Analysis – is a new optical skin imaging method in which computer reconstructed images reveal a number of aspects of skin histology, namely the concentration of epidermal melanin, the concentration of dermal blood, the thickness of the papillary dermis and, in pathological cases, the presence of dermal melanin. Due to its ability to provide a unique ...
