3D Total Body Photography as a Promising Innovation for Early Skin Cancer Detection: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Skin cancer (SC) is a global health concern because of its high and still increasing incidence and associated health care cost. Belgium is no exception as 1 in 5 people are diagnosed with SC before the age of 75 years. The VECTRA WB360, a 3D total body photography system, allows clinicians to objectively compare the totality of the skin on a macroscopic level on further appointments. The integrated lesion visualization software allows automated detection, counts, and assessment of skin lesions. Detailed comparison of individual lesions is possible through the attached digital dermatoscope.

Objective

This study aims to review available literature on the use of the VECTRA in research and clinical settings and to summarize the clinical utility, advantages, and limita
