| Item Description: |
The paper demonstrated a novel automated procedure for classification of human scars according to maturation stage, achieving accuracy as high as 96%. Non-linear optical microscopy was used to isolate the characteristic collagen morphologies, and image analysis combined with discriminant analysis and genetic algorithms were used to identify and classify the scar types. The methodology holds promise for express scar diagnosis, deemed especially useful in the paediatric practices. The paper further demonstrates the first use of unbiased computer based methods to probe the heterogeneous composite scar tissue organization. |
