Infrared thermography technology has improved dramatically in recent years and is gaining
renewed interest in the medical community for applications in skin tissue identification …

Background Infrared thermal imaging captures the infrared radiation emitted by the skin
surface. The thermograms contain valuable information, since the temperature distribution …

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States with over 3.5 M annual cases.
Presently, visual inspection by a dermatologist has good sensitivity (> 90%) but poor …

Melanoma has the highest mortality rate among skin cancers, and early-diagnosis is
essential to maximize survival rate. The current procedure for melanoma diagnosis is based …

The present review aims to analyze the application of infrared thermal imaging, aided by bio-
heat models, as a tool for the diagnosis of skin and breast cancers. The state of the art of the …

Melanoma incidence and the lifetime risk are increasing at an alarming rate in the USA and
worldwide. In order to improve survival rates, the goal is to detect melanoma at an early …

Background Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a class of serious lesions which develop in the deep
tissue layers as a result of sustained tissue loading or pressure-induced ischemic injury. DTI …

Every year around 2.5–3 million skin lesions are biopsied in the US, and a fraction of these–
between 50,000 and 100,000–are diagnosed as melanoma. Diagnostic instruments that …

Background Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are initially warm due to increased proliferation and
perfusion then involute with apoptosis and reduced perfusion. Objective quantitative …

We present an instrument based on commodity embedded hardware, that implements an
automatic procedure for early skin-cancer screening using dynamic thermal imaging. The …
