Abstract
Through vertex component analysis of hyperspectral imaging data in the visible spectral range, we differentiated erythematous and pigmented areas in patients with cutaneous chronic graft-versus-host disease. We explored the feasibility of hyperspectral imaging in combination with unsupervised learning algorithms to differentiate active disease from inactive post-inflammatory skin changes, a fundamental practice gap in caring for these patients. We compared erythema and pigment maps to the visual assessment by a dermatologist as the ground truth.
