An analysis method and a diagnostic device, enabling one to determine whether a longitudinal melanonychia is caused by a malignant melanoma or a benign nevus by correcting color variation in a dermoscopic image through standardization of color balance without depending on an imaging device or an operator; and a computer program for allowing a computer to function as the diagnostic device. Proposed is a structure including: an image reading step of reading a color image of a longitudinal melanonychia or an affected skin site of a subject as a digital color image; an image processing step involving an image size conversion step of converting the whole size of the digital color image into a preset size through pixel size conversion, and a region of interest (ROI)-extraction step of extracting an ROI required for the diagnosis from the digital color image; a chromatic adaptation transformation step of controlling the color balance of the digital color image data through chromatic adaptation transformation; and a discrimination index (DI) calculation step of determining a DI value using the image after the chromatic adaptation transformation.

A method for the objective determination of capillary refill behavior on a human body surface in which a spatially and spectrally resolved optical detection is carried out by at least one detector device (1) at a skin surface area (2) having a predefined areal size and outer contour. Subsequently a predefined pressure p constant over the skin surface area (2) is exerted over a predefined time t1; and the pressure effect is ended after expiry of this time t1. The spatially and spectrally resolved optical detection is carried out by the detector device (1) and the respective capillary refill behavior is spatially and temporally determined at a time t2 up to which at least one first threshold value of the measurement values detected simultaneously with spatial resolution has reached the measurement value that had been optically detected before the start of the pressure effect.

Within a first image in a set of images comprising a panoramic view of a scene, a first boundary feature is identified using a model. Within the first boundary feature, a first set of points is selected. Within a second image in the set of images, a second boundary feature is identified using the model. Within the second boundary feature, a second set of points is selected. A set of parameters of a geometrical shape including the first set of points and the second set of points is determined. From the first image and the second image, a panoramic image is formed, the first image placed within the panoramic image according to the position of the first image on the geometrical shape, the second image placed in the panoramic image according to the position of the second image on the geometrical shape.

A finger insert for use with a nailfold imaging device includes a housing to receive the user's finger and an immersion substance (e.g., immersion oil), and a deformable pad that holds the user's finger in place during imaging, as well as prevent bubble formation in the substance.
