Digital Mole Scanning: Understanding Automated Total Body Mapping

Monitoring changes in the skin can be an important part of maintaining awareness of moles and other skin lesions. Modern imaging technology allows the skin to be documented and examined in detail, making it possible to compare changes over time. Automated Total Body Mapping (ATBM) combines whole-body photography with video dermoscopy to provide a detailed approach to skin monitoring.

What Is Automated Total Body Mapping?

The Original ATBM® Automated Total Body Mapping procedure uses a two-step method of digital follow-up. It combines automated full-body mapping with video dermoscopy to document and analyse the skin and individual moles.

This approach creates detailed images that can help identify new or altered lesions and provide a record for future comparison.

How Full-Body Mapping Works

ATBM uses an integrated Bodyscan system to capture images of the entire skin. Whole-body photography provides a detailed visual record, while the system can connect body maps with individual mole images and their history.

The automated documentation process is designed to make skin imaging fast and intuitive, while maintaining high-quality photographic records.

The Role of Video Dermoscopy

Video dermoscopy provides detailed images of individual moles and skin structures. The system uses CrystalView technology and Full HD live quality to produce sharp dermoscopic images.

By linking micro images with body maps and mole history, practitioners can review individual areas alongside the wider record of the skin.

AI-Assisted Mole Analysis

Moleanalyzer pro® provides artificial intelligence-supported assessment of lesions. Its features include analysis and measurement of structures, image comparison, quantification of changes, checklist-based evaluation, and AI-supported risk assessment.

The system can also provide access to a second-opinion service from experienced experts, adding another layer to the analysis process.

Monitoring Changes Over Time

One of the key features of automated total body mapping is the ability to compare images during follow-up examinations. Changes can be visualised across the entire skin as well as in individual moles.

This two-step digital follow-up approach provides a structured record that supports ongoing monitoring and detailed analysis.

Conclusion

Automated Total Body Mapping combines whole-body photography, video dermoscopy, digital documentation, image comparison, and AI-assisted analysis to create a detailed approach to skin monitoring. By bringing these technologies together, Digital Mole Scanning and Analysis provides a comprehensive way to document and analyse moles and skin changes. EpicDermis offers this advanced imaging approach as part of its specialist mole clinic services.

How Often Should You Get a Digital Mole Scan?

Image
 Healthy skin is more than just clear complexion — it’s an important marker of your overall wellbeing. One of the key ways to safeguard your skin is through routine checks of moles and pigmented spots. With Digital Mole Scanning , cutting-edge technology gives clinicians a clearer and more detailed look at moles than a simple visual inspection. But how often should you actually have a digital mole scan? Let’s break it down in a straightforward way based on the information available. Why Regular Mole Checks Matter Moles are common, and most are harmless. However, changes in their size, shape, colour, or texture can sometimes signal something more serious, including the early stages of skin cancer. Because these changes can occur gradually and without pain, relying on self-examination alone isn’t always sufficient. This is where Digital Mole Scanning comes in — by using specialised digital imaging technology, clinicians can analyse moles with enhanced precision not possible with ...

Can Dermal Fillers Treatment Enhance Natural Beauty Without Looking Overdone?

Image
  Dermal Fillers Treatment in London - EpicDermis In the world of modern aesthetic medicine, it’s common to ask: “Can dermal fillers truly enhance natural beauty without leaving that ‘overdone’ look?” The good news is: yes, when done right, dermal fillers treatment can restore youthful volume, brighten contours, and revitalise your appearance, all while maintaining a natural, balanced outcome. What dermal-fillers treatment does Dermal fillers work differently from muscle-relaxing treatments. They don’t target the muscle directly; instead, they replenish lost volume by replacing hyaluronic acid (HA) a naturally-occurring substance in the skin that adds hydration and plumpness. As we age, our natural HA regeneration slows down, and our skin loses some of its firm, youthful volume. That’s where a tailored dermal fillers treatment can help. Why a natural result is possible A “natural look” isn’t just possible it’s achievable when the treatment is: Individually tailored : The amount and...
