摘要: Malignant melanoma is the rarest and deadliest of skin cancers causing three times more deaths than all other skin-related malignancies combined. Fortunately, in its early stages, it completely curable, making a total body examination (TBSE) fundamental procedure for many patients. Despite advances scanning techniques, automated assistance tools TBSEs have not received due attention. This fact emphasized our literature review covering area computerized analysis PSL images. Aiming at automation TBSEs, we designed built scanner to acquire surface images using cross-polarized light. Furthermore, developed an algorithm mapping PSLs their change estimation between explorations. The initial tests showed that can be successfully applied temporal monitoring multiple lesions
