Preliminary Study of Vulvar Lichen Sclerosis Diagnosis Based on Hyperspectral Imaging
To compare the hyperspectral differences of the vulvar lichen sclerosis (VLS) tissue and normal vulvar tissue and extract their respective features, the melanin content and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in the vulvar skin tissue of 40 patients with VLS were quantitatively analyzed via hyperspectral imaging. Our experimental results suggest that the melanin content index and StO2 index in lesions are statistically lower than those in the normal vulvar tissues. Therefore, by quantifying the difference between melanin content index and StO2 index in normal vulvar tissue and VLS tissue, hyperspectral imaging technology provides the possibility of in vivo assisted diagnosis of VLS.
