The aim of this paper is to introduce a computer program developed to provide objective, quantitative data useful to ensure proper implant selection when having to use a tissue expander for soft-tissue reconstructions. The only data to be supplied are the length and the width of the defect to be reconstructed, or the projection and the...

This article presents a set of software tools which are used in conjunction with spectrophotometric technology to support the quali-quantitative analys is of pigmented lesions and their classification as either benign or malignant on the basis of their dominant spectral features. The software components interact with their hardware counterparts...

This paper presents the design and experimental out comes of an ongoing research project aimed at the early detection of melanoma by means of a new diagnostic device. This device, based on the principles of spectrophotometry, is expected to improve upon the current diagnostic methods, which are known to carr y a margin of error quantified as...

As early diagnosis is the gold standard in the treatment of melanoma; the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit at The National Institute for Cancer Research in Genoa, Italy is carrying on a new project based on spectrophotometric study of the pigmented skin lesions in collaboration with DV S.r.l. (Padova, Italy). The purpose is to develop,...
