Early warning

摘要

The detection of skin cancer could be further improved with a new technology that aims to help dermatologists find subtle changes in the shape and size of moles. The development - from researchers at Photometrix Imaging, a spin-out from Glamorgan University's Medical Imaging Laboratories - could also be used by the cosmetics and computer gaming sectors. The technology, called Measurement of Area and Volume Instrument System (MAVIS) II, captures and measures 3D images of dermatological anomalies, such as malignant melanomas, using a high-resolution camera, a stereo adapter and a computer.
