Abstract

A complex approach was proposed for early diagnosis of skin melanoma. The approach includes sequential examinations of skin lesions using several imaging systems. A focus is placed on the specifics of morphometry using clinical images of skin neoplasms, features of imaging systems, and main steps of automated image processing and image recognition to diagnose melanoma. Metrological features were described for the approach; errors of measuring the clinical parameters of skin neoplasms did not exceed the allowable error level. The approach was tested, and the sensitivity and specificity of the methods employed was found to be higher than 90%.
