, an invasive surgical biopsy is the only way to know for sure. Today dermatologists got a trustier method to make the right call — a handheld tool approved by the FDA for multispectral analysis of tissue morphology. The MelaFind optical scanner lightens the doctors to whether biopsy is needed or not rather than being a definitive diagnosis. This method helps reducing the number of patients that being left with unnecessary biopsy scars. Also, it saves a huge amount of money by elimination of unnecessary procedures. The MelaFind technology uses missile navigation technologies to optically scan the surface of a suspicious lesion at 10 electromagnetic wavelengths. The collected signals are processed by heavy-duty algorithms and matched against a registry of 10,000 digital images of melanoma and skin disease.
