Computer applications in the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant melanoma.
Recent advances in computer technology have begun to make computers a more effective tool in the diagnosis and evaluation of malignant melanoma. Preliminary computer-aided diagnosis programs have been developed. Histologic evaluation applications in both diagnosis and prognosis are also evolving. Further advances in computers may make them an integral part of the diagnosis and prognosis of melanoma in the future.
