In dermatology, a mole map is a medical record which records an image and the location of lesions and/or moles, or dark spots on the human body.Such a record is useful for diagnosis of cancer a priori or as a baseline which can be compared against later images to determine when there has been a visual change which may indicate cancer.
The most simple rectangle checking method lies in checking the borders of equally sized rectangles, resembling a grid pattern. (Mariani's algorithm.) [14] A faster and slightly more advanced variant is to first calculate a bigger box, say 25x25 pixels. If the entire box border has the same color, then just fill the box with the same color.
A mole can be either subdermal (under the skin) or a pigmented growth on the skin, formed mostly of a type of cell known as a melanocyte. The high concentration of the body's pigmenting agent, melanin, is responsible for their dark color. Moles are a member of the family of skin lesions known as nevi (singular "nevus"), occurring commonly in ...
A blue nevus is a type of coloured mole, typically a single well-defined blue-black bump. [1] [2] The blue colour is caused by the pigment being deep in the skin. [4] Diagnosis is by visualisation and dermoscopy. [4] A biopsy is sometimes performed, or the whole lesion surgically removed. [3]
Benign melanocytic nevus; Other names: Banal nevus, Common acquired melanocytic nevus, Mole, Nevocellular nevus, and Nevocytic nevus. Seen is a normal mole, with no difference in shades of brown, black, or tan.
List of orders of magnitude for molar concentration; Factor (Molarity) SI prefix Value Item 10 −24: yM 1.66 yM: 1 elementary entity per litre [1]: 8.5 yM: airborne bacteria in the upper troposphere (5100/m 3) [2]
Obsolete terms for molar mass include gram atomic mass for the mass, in grams, of one mole of atoms of an element, and gram molecular mass for the mass, in grams, of one mole of molecules of a compound. The gram-atom is a former term for a mole of atoms, and gram-molecule for a mole of molecules. [7]
Cherry angioma, also called cherry hemangioma [1] or Campbell de Morgan Spot, [2] is a small bright red dome-shaped bump on the skin. [3] It ranges between 0.5 – 6 mm in diameter and usually several are present, typically on the chest and arms, and increasing in number with age.
