MoleExpert Micro 3.3.32.158

A diagnosis tool for skin lesions

MoleExpert micro was developed for the support of diagnosis findings. The system does not give a diagnosis, but instead provides measurement results on expansion, color, net structure, globules and the border which can be evaluated in comparison with many hundred lesions at any time. The parameters for the ABCD rule [Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter] have been recognized for some years as important parameters in dermatoscopy. In addition to this data the software calculates some additional parameters which have emerged as relevant during research work in recent year (such as color variation and gray veil).

Using a special algorithm tailored to this analysis, some of these parameters are integrated in a score that works with values between 0 and 1. The higher this score is, the more likely it is for the lesion to be a melanoma. Threshold values of the score are dependent on the camera and must be determined in special studies.

The most important requirements for the functioning of this software are high-quality, even and well illuminated incident light microscopic images of skin lesions.
