Cytokeratin expression in malignant melanoma: potential application of in-situ hybridization analysis of mRNA.

abstract：:In tissue counter analysis, a novel image analysis tool in the evaluation of dermatoscopic images, a lattice of elementary measuring masks (elements) of equal size is randomly placed over the image and the contents of each element is evaluated by a set of colour and texture features. In this study, we tested the effic...
