Sinclair Dermatology is one of the first centers in the world to house the VECTRA®WB360 skin imaging system designed specifically for dermatology.
The fully integrated software allows our dermatologists to map, monitor and tag pigmented lesions and distributed diseases on the skin better than any human eye can. We have imaged over 1,000 patients since it was delivered to us in November 2017.
Upon entering the booth, 92 cameras fire simultaneously, capturing the entire exposed skin surface within a few seconds. Images are then stitched together to reconstruct a high-resolution 3-D avatar of the patient. With the click of the mouse, each pigmented lesion is virtually lifted off the skin for analysis. Where necessary, additional dermoscopy images can be captured and attached to the 3-D avatar.
The high-resolution images are stored on a secure server. Repeat images over time can be compared side-by-side to detect changes on the skin. The VECTRA WB360 3D is invaluable for helping to calculate affected skin surface areas as well as monitoring any changes to a subject’s condition over time. Many patients have over 1000 pigmented lesions.
Our clinic record was one patient with 10,000 pigmented lesions including 1 melanoma!
