Abstract

An optical imaging device, called the Nevoscope, is used to collect multi-spectral transillumination (MST) images of skin and skin lesions. Multispectral optical transillumination imaging of skin lesions non-invasively determines the depth of invasion along with other crucial parameters such as shape, color and size of the lesion. Due to the inhomogeneity of the skin, light entering the skin can be absorbed or scattered or reflected at the layer boundaries. The combined analysis of the MST images gives information regarding the cell growth pattern within the lesions. Regular MST examination of the skin over time with subsequent analysis of archived images has great potential for early diagnosis of melanoma.
