Abstract

Early detection of melanoma is one of the greatest challenges of dermatologic practice today. A new diagnostic method, the “ELM 7 point checklist”, defines a set of seven features, based on colour and texture parameters, which describe the malignancy of a lesion. It has been presented as faster and with the same accuracy than the traditional ABCD criteria in the diagnosis of melanoma. In this paper a preliminary step to the automated diagnosis of melanocytic skin lesions, based on ELM 7 point checklist, is proposed. In particular, an image processing methodology focussed on finding the presence of two different parameters is set-up and characterized.
