Detection of skin cancer using deep learning and image processing

The detection of skin cancer using deep learning and image processing has emerged as a transformative approach in dermatology. By leveraging convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and other advanced algorithms, researchers can analyze dermoscopic images with high accuracy. These deep learning models are trained on large datasets of labeled images, allowing them to identify various skin lesions and differentiate between benign and malignant conditions. Image processing techniques, such as segmentation and feature extraction, enhance the quality of the input data, enabling more precise detection. This combination not only improves diagnostic efficiency but also aids in early detection, potentially leading to better patient outcomes. As the technology continues to evolve, its integration into clinical practice promises to support dermatologists in making informed decisions and reducing the burden of skin cancer worldwide.
