Fluorescence images of skin lesions and automated diagnosis using convolutional neural networks by Matheus B. Rocha, Sebastiao Pratavieira, Renan Souza Vieira, Juliana Duarte Geller, Amanda Lima Mutz Stein, Fernanda Sales Soares de Oliveira, Tania R.P. Canuto, Luciana de Paula Vieira, Renan Rossoni, Maria C.S. Santos, Patricia H.L. Frasson, Renato A. Krohling

“…An alternate technology for diagnosing skin cancer is fluorescence widefield imaging, where the skin lesion is illuminated with excitation light, causing it to emit fluorescence. Since there is no public dataset of fluorescence images for skin lesions, to the best of our knowledge, an effort has been made and resulted in 1,563 fluorescence images of major skin lesions taken by smartphones using the handheld LED wieldfield fluorescence device. …”
