COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM FOR SKIN CANCER SCREENING AND ASSOCIATED OPTICAL FIBERED PROBE FOR DIAGNOSIS
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.
