Conditions
Brief summary
The background to this research is that frequent medical screening of the general population for melanoma is not feasible. The real challenge of this project is to develop an automatic process for detecting any potential melanoma. To this end, the project aims to design an algorithm to build a novel diagnostic aid that makes use of the similarity and disparity of pigmented lesions in the same patient. To achieve this, we need to obtain and structure a large database of images grouping all pigmented lesions per patient according to their similarities as perceived by dermatologists.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| development and validation of algorithms to identify lesions clinically suspected of being melanoma by a dermatologist (potentially malignant and/or ugly duckling). | from enrollement to until 6 month | Comparison of the results given by the analysis of the images by 3 dermatologists or by the software. Estimation of sensitivity and specificity thresholds of at least 93% (accuracy level 5%). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| concordance rate for malignant annotations | From enrollement to 6 month after | concordance between the malignant yes-no annotations of each of the three dermatologists (2 to 2) will be tested. |
| concordance rate for ugly duckling | From enrollement to 6 month after | concordance between the ugly duckling yes-no annotations of each of the three dermatologists (2 to 2) will be tested. |
| calculation of the proportion of melanomas confirmed by anatomopathology | From enrollement to 6 month after | For each lesion identified as malignant or ugly duckling by the gold standard and removed for histological analysis: calculation of the proportion of melanomas confirmed by pathology. |
