Abstract
In this chapter, we present the use of whole slide imaging (WSI) and dermoscopy in the field of dermatology. Image digitization has allowed for increasing computer-assisted clinical decision-making. An introduction to common digital imaging data sources such as WSI and dermoscopy is provided. We also review some commonly used image quantification methods and their potential applications in dermatology. Finally, we review how machine learning approaches utilize novel large dermatology image datasets.
