Diagnostic capacity of skin tumor artificial intelligence-assisted decision-making software in real-world clinical settings.

Background: Youzhi artificial intelligence (AI) software is the AI-assisted decision-making system for diagnosing skin tumors. The high diagnostic accuracy of Youzhi AI software was previously validated in specific datasets. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of diagnostic capacity between Youzhi AI software and dermatologists in real-world clinical settings.

Dermoscopy in China: current status and future prospective.

Objective: Dermoscopy is a useful technique for improving the diagnostic accuracy of various types of skin disorders. In China, dermoscopy has been widely accepted, and domestic researchers have made tremendous progress in the field of dermoscopy. The main purpose of this review is to summarize the current status of dermoscopy in China and identify its future directions.

PDE-based unsupervised repair of hair-occluded information in dermoscopy images of melanoma.

The repair of hair-occluded information is one of the key problems for the precise segmentation and analysis of the skin malignant melanoma image with hairs. Aimed at dermoscopy images of pigmented skin lesions, an unsupervised repair algorithm for the hair-occluded information is proposed in this paper. This algorithm includes three steps: first, the melanoma image with hairs are enhanced by morphologic closing-based top-hat operator and then segmented through statistic threshold; second, the hairs are extracted based on the elongate of connected region; third, the hair-occluded information is repaired by the PDE-based image inpainting.

Cutaneous and systemic plasmacytosis: a Chinese case.

Cutaneous and systemic plasmacytosis (CSP) is an exceedingly rare condition arising primarily in patients of Japanese descent. Herein, we describe a patient of mainland Chinese origin suffering CSP. A 49-year-old Chinese male had asymptomatic brownish-red plaques and papules of the face and trunk for 6 years.
