ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an apparatus and method for skin lesion examination. The apparatus, a portable nevoscope, provides a hand-held device for viewing a skin lesion in situ in the presence of a uniform light distribution. The method of examining the skin lesion comprises the use of computer-based imaging to process a digitized image of the skin lesion and an expert system to analyze the image and diagnose the lesion.
