An online application for storing, analyzing, and sharing dermatological data

Abstract

In this paper we present a medical image management system which provides an easy-to-use web-based solution for dermatologists who have to store, retrieve, analyze, and share images of skin lesions. The system is capable of handling patient history and the corresponding metadata. Arbitrary number of lesions can be assigned to a patient record and can be followed through a series of independent examinations. The system allows users to store dermatoscopic, normal, and histopathological images together with metadata fields for the most important dermatoscopic features. The interface of the system has been implemented by using responsive web design elements, which makes the efficient use of the system possible both on desktop and mobile platforms.
