Skin Cancer

6.2K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.8K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Skin diseases are a common cause of disability, often presenting complex diagnostic challenges.
  • Computerized systems can aid in the diagnosis of complicated skin conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a computerized intelligent diagnostic assistant for complicated skin diseases.
  • To utilize C5's Algorithm for developing a decision tree-based diagnostic tool.

Main Methods:

  • An applied-developmental study involving knowledge acquisition from dermatologists via questionnaires.
  • Development of a knowledge base using Microsoft Excel and application of Clementine Software with C5's Algorithms.
  • Implementation of the diagnostic assistant in the CLIPS programming environment using extracted rules and forward chaining inference.

Main Results:

  • The decision tree achieved 99.56% accuracy and 0.44% error rate during the training phase.
  • In the test phase, the system demonstrated 98% accuracy with a 2% error rate.
  • Extracted rules were successfully integrated into the CLIPS environment for the intelligent diagnostic assistant.

Conclusions:
