What is it?

Body mole mapping, also known as nevus mapping or full-body dermatoscopy, is a dermatological examination that involves examining all the moles and spots on the surface of a person's skin to detect possible signs of skin cancer or other skin conditions.

During the examination, the dermatologist uses a dermatoscope, a device with a magnifying lens and a light source, to examine the surface of the skin for suspicious lesions. Body mapping of moles can help identify suspicious lesions early, increasing the chances of early diagnosis and effective treatment.

Fotofinder

Fotofinder is an image analysis system that uses digital dermoscopy to aid in the detection and monitoring of lesions suspected of skin cancer. The procedure involves capturing high-resolution images of moles and skin lesions using a camera connected to image analysis software.

During the examination, the dermatologist uses Fotofinder to capture images of the skin's surface at different angles and magnifications, allowing for a more accurate assessment of suspicious lesions. Fotofinder's software uses image analysis algorithms to help identify suspicious lesions and monitor changes in their appearance over time.

Fotofinder is a useful tool to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of skin cancer, especially in cases of suspicious lesions that are not easily visible to the naked eye. However, it is important to emphasize that the final diagnosis must be made by a dermatologist, who will evaluate the Fotofinder results along with other factors, such as medical history and physical examination.
