  1. 6. Identifying Melanoma Using Transfer Learning and Convolutional Neural Networks : An investigation of skin disease pre-training

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Albin Wikström Kempe; Elin Inoue; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, has become an increasingly common and pressing health issue. Early detection and treatment can be life-saving, but also poses a challenge. A possible solution presents itself in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). READ MORE

  3. 7. Identifying Chaos in Skin Lesions Using Deep Learning : A potential examination tool for dermatologists

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Marcus Odlander; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated whether a deep learning model could learn features of Chaos,from the Chaos & Clues evaluation protocol, in a given dermatoscopic image data set. Asuccessful result could be of use in a future decision-support system for when dermatologists examine skin lesions for traces of melanoma (type of skin cancer). READ MORE

  4. 8. Evaluating automatic colour equalization to preprocess dermoscopic images for classification using a CNN

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Niklas Vatn; Julia Byström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer and diagnosing of skin lesions are mostly done by visual inspection by a doctor. Lately, computer- aided diagnosis (CAD) has gained popularity and previous studies have with great results utilized a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify dermoscopic images of different benign and malignant skin lesions.

  5. 9. THE CLINICAL VALUE OF SPECT/ CT IN IDENTIFYINGSENTINEL LYMPH NODES IN PATIENTS WITH BREASTCANCER: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Fatema Jafer; [2021]
    Keywords : Breast cancer; Sentinel lymph node; SPECT CT; Planar lymphoscintigraphy;

    Abstract : Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is an established method used to investigate the riskof lymphatic metastasis especially in breast cancer and melanoma patients. SPECT/ CT isconsidered to be an advantageous method in mapping of sentinel nodes. READ MORE

  6. 10. Segmentation and Prediction of Mutation Status of Malignant Melanoma Whole-slide Images using Deep Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Elin Johansson; Fanny Månefjord; [2021]
    Keywords : deep learning; image analysis; malignant melanoma; tissue segmentation; mutation classification; Inception v3; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer. Gene mutations can make the disease progress faster, but specialised treatment exists. Today, gene mutations are detected with DNA-analysis which is costly and time-consuming. READ MORE
