Characterization of border structure using Fractal Dimension in melanomas

There are many characteristics that differentiate normal moles (nevi) from melanomas. One of them is their boundary irregularity, which can be quantified using Fractal Dimension. In this work, fractal dimension of normal moles and melanoma was computed using the box counting method. These measuremen...
