Tech team seeks to soothe psoriasis sufferers
A team from the Rochester Institute of Technology is seeking to improve the diagnosis and assessment of psoriasis through the creation of a multimodal, image-based analysis system. With several techniques under test (thermal, ultraviolet reflectance, and lidar), the imaging tool is expected to assess psoriasis based on the three criteria currently used by the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score: thickness, redness, and scale.
