VIVOSIGHT OCT SCANNER: BIOPSY-FREE DIAGNOSIS FOR SKIN CANCERS

High Definition Imaging Scanner from Michelson Diagnostics

VivoSight OCT scanner, from Michelson Diagnostics, provides dermatologists with a biopsy-free method for diagnosing and treating frequently occurring skin cancers and other conditions. The machine produces high definition images of the skin at depths of up to 2mm. Using VivoSight allows clinicians to quickly and efficiently confirm or otherwise the clinical diagnosis and extent of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), or to distinguish between a “superficial Actinic Keratosis (AK) and a more invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC).”

According to the company, in many situations the high definition image shows that the lesion is quite shallow and can be treated with a non-invasive technique. When non-invasive treatments are applied, such as creams, the doctor can follow up the scans and can chart the progress of the treatment, which gives them a confidence the treatment has succeeded. VivoSight OCT scanner ensures dermatologists have the best equipment at their disposal for fast and patient friendly diagnosis.
