Objective hand eczema severity assessment with automated lesion anatomical stratification.

Hand eczema (HE) is one of the most frequent dermatoses, known to be both relapsing and remitting. Regular and precise evaluation of the disease severity is key for treatment management. Current scoring systems such as the hand eczema severity index (HECSI) suffer from intra- and inter-observer variance.

Quantification of Efflorescences in Pustular Psoriasis Using Deep Learning.

Objectives: Pustular psoriasis (PP) is one of the most severe and chronic skin conditions. Its treatment is difficult, and measurements of its severity are highly dependent on clinicians' experience. Pustules and brown spots are the main efflorescences of the disease and directly correlate with its activity.

[Artificial intelligence in image analysis-fundamentals and new developments].

Background: Since 2017, there have been several reports of artificial intelligence (AI) achieving comparable performance to human experts on medical image analysis tasks. With the first ratification of a computer vision algorithm as a medical device in 2018, the way was paved for these methods to eventually become an integral part of modern clinical practice.

Objectives: The purpose of this article is to review the main developments that have occurred over the last few years in AI for image analysis, in relation to clinical applications and dermatology.
