Yüzdeki Dermatolojik Hastalıkların Otomatik Teşhisi İçin Bir Uygulama

Öz

Amaç: Dermatolojik hastalıklar halk sağlığı problemleridir. Teşhisin öznel olması, yeterli dermatolog bulunmaması, yaşlılık, psikolojik sorunlar veya koronavirüs salgını gibi nedenlerle dermatoloğa gidememek gibi çeşitli faktörler dermatolojide otomatik tekniklerin kullanılmasını zorunlu hale getirmiştir. Literatürde, çeşitli dermatolojik hastalıkların teşhisinde doğru, objektif, güvenilir ve tekrarlanabilir sonuçlar sağlamak için otomatik lezyon sınıflandırması üzerine birçok teknik vardır. Fakat bu teknikler, ümit verici olmasına rağmen, uygun parametrelerin nasıl seçileceği veya nasıl ayarlanacağı ve kaynak kodlarının nasıl çalıştırılacağı konusunda önceden bilgisi olmayan birçok hasta veya kullanıcı için, bir ara yüz olmadan faydasız hale gelmektedirler. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmanın amacı, hastalar ve dermatologlar için etkili bir kullanıcı ara yüzüne sahip bir uygulama geliştirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Uygulama genel veri tabanlarından sağlanan dijital fotoğraflar kullanılarak Matlab (R2019) ile geliştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Dermatolojik hastalıkları olan hastalar için etkili ve kullanıcı dostu ara yüze sahip bir uygulama tasarlanmış ve geliştirilmiştir. Sonuç: Uygulama, (i) lezyon bölütleme, (ii) görüntü sınıflandırması ve (iii) zaman periyotlarına göre analiz sonuçlarını sunmaktadır. Verilerin kolayca görüntülenmesini ve ağın parametrelendirilmesini sağlamaktadır. Dermatologlar tarafından lezyon analizinde veya karar verme aşamasında da kullanılabilir. Ayrıca uygulama, dermatolojik hastalıklar hakkında bilgi ve testler sağladığı için eğitim amaçlı da kullanılabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu hem hastalar hem de bu alanda çalışan araştırmacılar için faydalı olacaktır.

An Application for Automated Diagnosis of Facial Dermatological Diseases

Öz

Objective: Dermatological diseases are public health problems. Several factors including subjective diagnosis, lack of enough dermatologists, inability to go to a dermatologist due to old age, psychological problems or pandemic like coronavirus enforce to use automated techniques in dermatology. In the literature, there are many techniques on automated lesion classification to provide accurate, objective, reliable and reproducible results for the diagnosis of several dermatological diseases. However, although the techniques are promising, they become useless without a user interface for many patients or users who don’t have any prior knowledge on how to choose or set appropriate parameters and how to run source codes. Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop an application with an efficient user interface for patients and dermatologists. Material and Method: The application has been developed with Matlab (R2019) using digital photographs provided from public databases. Results: An application with an efficient and friendly user interface has been designed and implemented for patients with dermatological diseases. Conclusion: The application can present results of (i) lesion segmentation, (ii) image classification, and (iii) analysis according to time periods. It provides to view data easily and parametrization of the network. It can also be useful for dermatologists to analyze lesions or make decisions about diseases. Also, the application can be used for educational purpose since it provides information and tests on dermatological diseases. Therefore, it can be useful for both patients and researchers working in this area.
