Abstract

Described embodiments include a system, method, and program product. A described system includes a circuit that determines a substantial correspondence between a human-perceivable feature included in a border region segment of a selected medical skin image and a human-perceivable feature included in each other medical skin image of a plurality of medical skin images. A circuit gathers the determined substantial correspondences. A circuit generates data indicative of a border region-overlap status of the selected medical skin image. A circuit adds the data to an omitted-coverage list. A circuit iteratively designates a next medical skin image as the selected digital image, and initiates a processing of each of the iteratively designated next medical skin images. A circuit identifies a possible non-imaged portion of the region of interest. A circuit outputs user-assistance information based on the identified possible non-imaged portion of the skin.
