Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Skin Diseases and Cond itions - Dermatitis is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Nicosia, Cyprus, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Acute radiation dermati tis (ARD) is a common and distressing issue for cancer patients undergoing radia tion therapy, leading to significant morbidity. Despite available treatments, AR D remains a distressing issue, necessitating further research to improve prevent ion and management strategies.” Funders for this research include European Commission, University of Cyprus. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of C yprus, “Moreover, the lack of biomarkers for early quantitative assessment of AR D impedes progress in this area. This study aims to investigate the detection of ARD using intensity-based and novel features of Optical Coherence Tomography (O CT) images, combined with machine learning. Imaging sessions were conducted twic e weekly on twenty-two patients at six neck locations throughout their radiation treatment, with ARD severity graded by an expert oncologist. We compared a trad itional feature-based machine learning technique with a deep learning late-fusio n approach to classify normal skin vs. ARD using a dataset of 1487 images. The d ataset analysis demonstrates that the deep learning approach outperformed tradit ional machine learning, achieving an accuracy of 88%.”
