Polarization speckle is a noise-like interference pattern created when a skin lesion is illuminated by laser light.
In this project, we develop a handheld and easy-to-operate optical probe for detecting melanoma. Delivery of the technology is aimed at non-dermatologist healthcare providers, improving their diagnostic accuracy and reducing the number of referrals to the specialists.
Computer-aided systems for melanoma - The objectives of this project are to develop automated computer systems to help interpret complex dermoscopic images with the ultimate aim of distributing the technique to non-dermatologist healthcare providers and, maybe, even patients.
