Imaging technique to diagnose melanoma

What you see above is the photo of SolarScan, the new generation of digital diagnostic devices to detect melanoma . Imaging techniques have literally revolutionized the dermatology sector, allowing specialist doctors quick access to data, a better study of the skin and above all the possibility of comparing reports made at different points in time. In fact, with SolarScan it is possible to create high-resolution digital dermoscopic images to monitor the evolution of nevi (or moles) over time, a fundamental parameter for the diagnosis of skin cancer . For all these reasons it is advisable to go to the general practitioner or specialist doctor periodically to undergo assessment tests because, in case there are complications, the thing that makes the difference is the time between the development of the disease and the application of the cure.
