    摘要: An embodiment of the present invention includes a method for discriminating between benign and malignant tissue lesions. The method includes the steps of using a plurality of maps of physiology and morphology parameters generated from reflectance measurements and pure morphology parameters generated from reflectance measurements. The method also includes calculating entropies and cross entropies of the plurality of maps, and calculating a plurality of pure morphology parameters. Further, the method includes assigning a weight to each entropy and a weight to a logarithm of each entropy, a weight to each cross entropy and a weight to a logarithm of each cross entropy, and a weight to each pure morphology parameter and a weight to a logarithm of each pure morphoiogy parameter. The method further includes computing a diagnostic index, defining a cost function, defining a proper threshold value for a diagnostic index and solving an optimization problem to determine a set of weights from the assigned weights to maximize specificity for 100% sensitivity. Further, the method uses calculations, the cost function and the diagnostic index to determine whether the tissue lesion is benign or malignant.
