Apparatus for the characterisation of pigmented skin lesions

摘要

An apparatus is described, for the characterisation of pigmented skin lesions, which comprises an instrument for the acquisition of a plurality of images of the lesion, filmed with lighting at different wavelengths, means designed to segment and parameterise each of said images, means designed to extrapolate a data set from said images and input said data into a neural network system, means designed to compare the results processed by said neural network with the results obtained following similar processing of known cases, and means designed to vary the weighting of each parameter supplied to the neural network on the basis of said results. <IMAGE>
