Melanoma diagnosis with 3D total-body photography.

Skin cancer is a growing global health challenge, emphasizing the need for early detection. In recent years, 3D total-body photography has emerged as a promising tool in dermatology. This non-invasive imaging technique provides a comprehensive visual representation of a patient's skin, enabling the early detection of suspicious lesions and the surveillance of existing nevi. Despite its promising role in early melanoma detection, ongoing research is essential to validate its real-world impact and address its current limitations. Although it enhances diagnostic accuracy, this technique currently does not replace the need for a thorough examination by a dermatologist. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent findings on the application of 3D total-body photography in melanoma diagnosis.
