Overview

Dermatologic imaging includes dermoscopy optical coherence tomography and high frequency ultrasound. These modalities provide structural and vascular information for diagnosis and monitoring. Non invasive imaging reduces need for biopsy in select cases.

Dermoscopy

Dermoscopy enhances visualization of pigmented lesions and vascular patterns. It improves early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers. Training and standardized criteria improve diagnostic accuracy.

OCT and High Frequency Ultrasound

OCT provides micrometer scale cross sectional images of epidermal and superficial dermal structures. High frequency ultrasound assesses lesion depth and vascularity. Combined imaging supports treatment planning and monitoring.

Teledermatology

Digital imaging and telemedicine expand access to dermatologic evaluation and triage. Secure image transfer and standardized capture protocols support remote diagnosis. Integration with in person care ensures comprehensive management.
