Dermoscopy (also known as dermatoscopy and epiluminescence microscopy) is a diagnostic technique that allows visualisation of the morphological structures of the skin. It is a non-invasive, in vivo skin examination. Dermoscopy is an important aid in the early recognition of malignant melanoma and other skin tumours but is also used for non-skin cancer disease conditions (for example, inflammatory disease).Main sections:· Scope and field of application· Changes to NEMA Standards Publication PS 3.2· Changes to NEMA Standards Publication PS 3.3· Changes to NEMA Standards Publication PS 3.4· Changes to NEMA Standards Publication PS 3.6· Changes to NEMA Standards Publication PS 3.16· Changes to NEMA Standards Publication PS 3.17 Access Supplement 221: Dermoscopy By accessing this content, you are leaving this website.
