title: Melanoma-pigmented lesion center.
abstract: Early diagnosis of cutaneous malignant melanoma is of critical importance as thin lesions equate with increased survival. Detection has been made easier by the development of a computer-programmed, high-resolution camera capable of detecting changes in surface area as well as low-level color changes, which are associated with radial (noninvasive) growth.
