Abstract

Cases of skin cancer have become very common in many parts of the world due to modernization in all aspects of life along with many other contributing factors. So it becomes important to study and evolve better and more efficient techniques for the early detection of cancer for faster and higher chances of recovery. Of the three types of skin cancers, melanoma is the deadliest and is characterized by changes in the colour, size or shape of a mole. The major focus lies in studying the evolving melanoma diagnostic techniques that are non-invasive and cause lesser discomfort to the patient. Various emerging technologies are enhancing the diagnostic approaches for melanoma detection out of which one promising technology is thermography. Currently, the assessment of thermography’s effectiveness is in the research phase and studies are still being reported to substantiate its accuracy in the diagnosis of melanoma. This review analyzes the thermal imaging-based experimental studies conducted for melanoma detection with respect to factors like the experimental set-up, performance rates of the approaches, their limitations, and future scope.
