VIDEO COMPARATOR FOR ISOLATION OF DERMATOLOGICAL LESIONS

拟议的项目将导致开发和测试一个 用于临床的基于微计算机的视频图像比较器 皮肤病环境 该设备将用于 皮肤科医生可以轻松定位新的或改变的皮肤 可能对患者造成致命威胁的病变。 除了 减轻筛选任务，它将导致更大的一致性， 患者检查的客观性。 这是一个完全创新的 用于临床环境的产品，具有相当大的商业价值 潜力 在第一阶段项目将建立原型视频 比较器，然后将受到一系列接收器 在良好控制的实验中进行操作特性测试;它将 用于演示进一步提高 设计，它将用于实际的临床环境， 建立其易用性。 从这个产品的开发 原型是可行的。 这个原型的概念是 由皮肤科医生表达的市场需求而产生。 拟议 产品的重要性在于它提供了一种更有效的方法， 早期识别严重的、可能快速发展的病变。

The proposed project will result in development and testing of a microcomputer based video image comparator for use in a clinical dermatological environment. This device will be used by dermatologists to ease the task of locating new or changed cutaneous lesions which may pose a lethal threat to the patient. In addition to easing the screening task it will result in greater uniformity and objectivity of patient examination. This is a completely innovative product for the clinical environment with considerable commercial potential. During the phase I project will build the prototype video comparator which will then be subjected to a series of receiver operating characteristic tests in well controlled experiments; it will be used to provide a demonstration of techniques for further enhancing the design, and it will be used in actual clinical environments to establish its ease of use. Development of a product from this prototype is quite feasible. The concept for this prototype has arisen from a market need expressed by dermatologists. The proposed product is significant in that it addresses a more effective means of early identification of serious, potentially rapidly evolving lesions.
