title: Oral cancer detection in fluorescent image by color image fusion.
abstract: Biopsy is the main diagnosis method for oral cancer, which is the fifth most prevalent cancer in male population in Taiwan. In order to increase the accuracy of diagnosis, it is required to reveal the distribution of malignancy prior to biopsy. Based on this purpose, we developed the fluorescent image system associated with color image fusion algorithm to indicate the cancer-susceptible area in the oral image. The system therefore can assist physicians to make appropriate biopsy.
