A simple classification of the resolution and depth of imaging systems for pigmented skin lesions.

摘要

The resolving power of imaging systems used in the diagnosis of cutaneous malignant melanoma is usually presented in the literature in terms of numerical values, yet it is often difficult for the reader to ascertain what tangible information these systems are extracting. This paper presents a classification system of two aspects of imaging systems that allows rapid appraisal of the resolution of the different imaging systems used in the diagnosis of melanoma and the additional clinical information they reveal.
