Digital dermoscopy.
Digital dermatoscopic images are acquired with digital cameras or video camera and frame grabber combinations. These images can be compressed, transmitted, or archived; combined with clinical anamnestic information for medical record purposes; or attached to body surface diagrams for mole mapping applications. Image analysis software, which might interpret the images to produce a computer-assisted or fully automated diagnosis, is under development.
