Narrow Results

The early screening and diagnosis is one of the most critical steps in the curing of skin cancers and mainly melanomas. We present here a complete platform which deals from screening to therapy via diagnosis in a collaborative manner. The screening is made with a computing collaborative platform consisting of a photograph of the incriminated skin region, its sending to a server devoted to image processing as an aid to the dermatologist who will examine the photograph and the results given by image processing. If there is a doubt, the patient will be proposed to go at a dermatologist's office for diagnosing the eventual cancer by using an optical probe developed in our laboratory. Then, in case of a cancer, the dermatologist will be able to cure the cancer by phototherapy by using the same optical probe.
