Machine Learning Analysis of Human Skin by Optoacoustic Mesoscopy for Automated Extraction of Psoriasis and Aging Biomarkers.

Ultra-wideband raster-scan optoacoustic mesoscopy (RSOM) is a novel modality that has demonstrated unprecedented ability to visualize epidermal and dermal structures in-vivo. However, an automatic and quantitative analysis of three-dimensional RSOM datasets remains unexplored. In this work we present our framework: Deep Learning RSOM Analysis Pipeline (DeepRAP), to analyze and quantify morphological skin features recorded by RSOM and extract imaging biomarkers for disease characterization.
