To aid physicians we have developed an algorithm that deduces medical information by analysing colour nuances of an image obtained by bronchoscopy. The goal is to ensure a high probability of detecting bronchial cancer. Autofluorescent bronchoscopy images are analysed by the proposed algorithm. The machine-made diagnoses of early cancer stages are highly correlated with the diagnoses made by a medical expert. Reading the image using a specialized apparatus and producing a pre-diagnosis by image-recognition software and a special set of rules has the potential to produce automated second opinions for most cases of the diseaseTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
