N2 - An image based system implementing diagnostic method is discussed for the automatic detection of melanomas as support to clinicians. Early detection of melanoma is one of the greatest challenges of dermatologic practice today. A new diagnostic method, the 'ELM 7 point checklist', defines a set of seven features, based on color and texture parameters, which describe the malignancy of a lesion. As Dermoscopy is an in vivo method for the early diagnosis of malignant melanoma and the differential diagnosis of pigmented lesions of the skin, it has been shown to increase diagnostic accuracy over clinical visual inspection in the hands of experienced physicians.
