Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a skin cancer classification method based on the optical intensity and gradient of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging image, belonging to the field of biomedical image processing. Background technique
[0002] Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, more than 2 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year. In clinical practice, skin biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing skin cancer. However, skin biopsy is an invasive procedure that can cause patient discomfort. Therefore, non-invasive methods have been adopted to eliminate the shortcomings of biopsy in skin cancer diagnosis, including dermoscopy, confocal microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). These patterns are able to generate images to help dermatologists diagnose different types of skin disorders. Dermoscopy not only allows a visual inspection of the ski...
