Dermoscopy: a review
Abstract
In this article, dermoscopy, an in vivo technique that allows the clinician to evaluate subsurface structures, is described. Dermoscopy is used in the evaluation of pigmented lesions of the skin and is a helpful tool in the differential diagnosis. This article discusses research on dermoscopy, as well as other imaging techniques including confocal microscopy, digital dermoscopy, and computer-assisted diagnosis.
