Information system for the diagnosis of skin melanoma by dermatoscopic image MelaSearch

Purpose: Remote computer diagnostics of skin melanoma according to dermatoscopic criteria and comparison with annotated images in the database.

Advantages:

  • It does not require high medical qualifications to obtain a preliminary diagnosis of melanoma
  • Simultaneous use of two diagnostic strategies: using dermatoscopic criteria calculated from this image and searching for similar images in the database
  • The possibility of improving the accuracy of melanoma diagnosis and expanding the list of diagnosed diseases by increasing the database of annotated images.
Main characteristics: The image of a skin neoplasm obtained using a dermatoscope is loaded into the system from the end user's computer, the program on a remote supercomputer cluster automatically selects similar images from a database containing more than 200 descriptions of clinical cases of skin cancer. At the same time, the original image is processed according to dermatological signs, including asymmetry of education, color features, blurring of borders, etc. The values of standard dermatological criteria (ABCD, 7-Point and Menzies) and the risk of melanoma are calculated, which are returned to the user's computer.

The development uses modern approaches to the search for similar images in the database, based on the construction of image descriptors based on the matrices of the common occurrence of pixel colors. This approach will expand the diagnostic capabilities of the system to other forms of skin cancer.

Information about the practical implementation of the MelaSearch program is installed on the BNTU cluster – the regional node of the IHSIT-CD project of the EU Latvia-Lithuania-Belarus cross-border cooperation program. For registered users, the Melabase2 program interface and user manuals are available at the link http://mon.grid.bntu.by/projects/melabase/files

A demo version of the program is available on the website http://ihsit-cd.eu

The program is used in five medical institutions in Belarus.
