Lesion Detection Tools

The lesion detection tools in DermEngine are AI-powered features that assist providers in their daily clinical workflow. The lesion detection sliders help identify lesions in TBP images. When reviewing images in Total Body Photography, there will be two sets of lesion detection filters. These filters will differ based on whether you're reviewing a single image or comparing two images.

For a single image, the filters are:

• Score- The Score represents the algorithm's confidence in identifying a lesion, based on size, color and pattern. This is not an assessment of malignancy or risk.
• Size- This indicates the relative diameter of each lesion.

For comparing two images, the filters are:

• Change- This shows the degree of change observed in each lesion pair.
• Size- This indicates the relative diameter of each lesion.

1. When reviewing one image, you will note the slider options are Score and Size. You can adjust the sliders from left (most sensitive) to right (least sensitive).
   
2. To compare two images, select the second image from the right column and then select 'Start Matching'.
   
3. When comparing two images, the slider options become Change and Size. You can adjust the sliders from left (most sensitive) to right (least sensitive).
   
   Notable mentions: There is a report mismatch tool that offers you the option to advise of any poor matches, missing pairs or inaccuracies in change detection labels.
   
4. You can click on a pair of images on the right to edit them. Learn how to edit matching lesion results here.
