  • METHOD FOR DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN MALIGNANT AND BENIGN TISSUE LESIONS
    Publication number: 20150297130
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention includes a method for discriminating between benign and malignant tissue lesions. The method includes the steps of using a plurality of maps of physiology and morphology parameters generated from reflectance measurements and morphology parameters generated from reflectance measurements. The method also includes calculating entropies and cross entropies of the plurality of maps, and calculating a plurality of morphology parameters. Further, the method includes assigning a weight to each entropy and a weight to a logarithm of each entropy, a weight to each cross entropy and a weight to a logarithm of each cross entropy, and a weight to each morphology parameter and a weight to a logarithm of each morphology parameter.
