In medical imaging field, computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) is the computer-based system that helps

doctors to take decisions faster [1, 2]. Medical imaging deals with a big amount of information
evaluated by the clinician normally in a short time. Analysis of imaging in medical field is very crucial
task because imaging is basic modality to diagnose any diseases at the earliest stages and its a non
invasive procedure because allow the image acquisition without harm the human body. Imaging
techniques like MRI, X-ray, endoscopy, ultrasound, etc. if acquired with high energy will provide good
quality image but they will harm the human body; hence, images are taken in less energy and therefore,
the images will be bad in quality and low contrast. CAD systems are used to improve the quality of the
image, which helps to interpret the medical images correctly and process the images for highlighting
the visible parts [3].

The goal of CAD is to automatically decide Type of lesion, i.e. melanoma or benign by
examining various features of lesion and examining these features by using machine learning
techniques that help the dermatologist to take less time and high efficiency in diagnosis of
skin cancer and enhancement the diagnostic accuracy of physicians and reduce the overall rate
of misdiagnosis [8]. The system [9] uses image processing techniques for improving and
segmentation the images for detection the melanoma in early stages without the need for
biopsy.
The main advantages of CAD systems that the features extracted from lesion based on
computer provide high accuracy than the features extraction based on dermoscopy algorithms.
The general scheme of a CAD system for the skin lesions is shown in figure 1. It consists of
four main components steps: Image acquisition and preprocessing, feature extraction,
classification and evaluation.
