In this proof-of-concept pilot study, we demonstrated that automated analysis of whole-body 3D-images using simple image processing techniques can discriminate melanoma from other skin lesions with high accuracy. Further studies with larger, higher quality, and more representative 3D-imaging datasets would be needed to improve and validate these results.
