LesionAir: An Automated, Low-Cost Vision-Based Skin Cancer Diagnostic Tool [PDF]
Current techniques for diagnosing skin cancer lack specificity and sensitivity, resulting in unnecessary biopsies and missed diagnoses. Automating tissue palpation and morphology quantification will result in a repeatable, objective process. LesionAir is

Introducing teledermoscopy of possible skin cancers in general practice in Southern Denmark [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The increasing incidence of skin cancers poses a burden to health care systems. General practitioners (GPs) play an important role in triaging these diseases and referring relevant patients to specialists.

Acceptance of teledermoscopy by general practitioners and dermatologists in Denmark [PDF]
Background: Teledermoscopy can be used to triage referrals of suspected skin cancers, thereby reducing waiting time and number of face-to-face consultations with a dermatologist.

Empirical Likelihood Inference for the Area Under the ROC Curve [PDF]
For a continuous-scale diagnostic test, the most commonly used summary index of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is the area under the curve (AUC) that measures the accuracy of the diagnostic test.

Mueller Matrix Microscopy for In Vivo Scar Tissue Diagnostics and Treatment Evaluation [PDF]
Scars usually do not show strong contrast under standard skin examination relying on dermoscopes. They usually develop after skin injury when the body repairs the damaged tissue.

Focus stacking in non-contact dermoscopy [PDF]
Dermoscopy is the main tool for early detection of skin cancer. Non-contact dermoscopes often suffer from a small depth of field leading to images of skin topographies with regions that are not in focus.

Diagnosing skin cancer in general practice [PDF]
Huidkanker komt steeds vaker voor en volgens de huidige schattingen krijgt op dit moment één op de zes Nederlanders op een zeker moment huidkanker. In Nederland worden de meeste ‘verdachte’ huidafwijkingen eerst door de huisarts beoordeeld. Toch heeft de

Single-Shot Waterless Low-Profile Photoacoustic System: Near-Field Volumetric Imaging In Vivo for Blood Vessels Based on Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) [PDF]
Intensive research on photoacoustics (PA) for imaging of the living human body, including the skin, vessels, and tumors, has recently been conducted. We propose a PA measurement system based on a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) with
