Melanoma Monitor
It can be difficult for dermatologists to correctly identify early-stage skin cancer. To assist them, this device uses a multispectral camera to peer below the skin surface. Using a database of lesions for comparison, the system can recommend that a mole be biopsied. Its accuracy rate is higher than that of a standard examination alone.
