  1. 11. Automated Histopathological Evaluation of Tumor Images using CNNs

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Jonatan Nyström; [2020]
    Keywords : CNN; CNNs; statistical; model; models; VGG16; InceptionV3; Keras; Histopathology; lymph node; metastases; malignant melanoma; pathologist; annotation; automatical; image; images; processing; H E; Hematoxylin; Eosin; QuPath; inference; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Histopathology is the procedure used in medicine to optically examine microscope-images of tissue samples (biopsies) in order to study the manifestation of disease. It is used, for example, to diagnose the spread and type of cancer tumors, which have implications on the chosen treatment. READ MORE

  3. 12. Malignant Melanoma Classification with Deep Learning

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Jakob Kisselgof; [2019]
    Keywords : Melanoma classification deep learning;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. If correctly diagnosed in time, the expected five-year survival rate can increase up to 97 %. Therefore, exploring various methods for early detection can contribute with tools which can be used to improve detection of disease and finally to make sure that help is given in time. READ MORE

  4. 13. Uveal melanoma identification using artificial neural networks

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

    Author : Buster Styren; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Uveal melanoma is a deadly form of cancer that can develop from a uveal nevus in the eye fundus. By using deep convolutional networks this thesis aims to classify fundus images based on malignancy. A baseline model was compared against two state-of-the-art networks, Inceptionv3 and ResNet.

  5. 14. Deep Learning Method used in Skin Lesions Segmentation and Classification

    University essay from KTH/Medicinsk teknik

    Author : Fengkai Wan; [2018]
    Keywords : Deep neural network; Skin lesion; Segmentation; Classification;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma (MM) is a type of skin cancer that is associated with a very poor prognosis and can often lead to death. Early detection is crucial in order to administer the right treatment successfully but currently requires the expertise of a dermatologist. READ MORE

  6. 15. Evaluating a deep convolutional neural network for classification of skin cancer

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

    Author : Joakim Boman; Alexander Volminger; [2018]
