Development and Validation of a New Digital Dermatoscope in the United States

A completely new type of digital dermatoscope has been developed in order to take a significant step forward in technology for skin cancer imaging. By means of this study a better insight can be gained of the current performance and workflow in clinical dermatoscopy. This knowledge will be used to further improve the developed technology.
