The IntelliStudio brings cutting-edge automated total body mapping technology to the Riverina.
This state-of-the-art equipment combines high powered full-body photography, sequential digital dermoscopy imaging and artificial intelligence. It is recommended by key worldwide skin cancer specialists for monitoring high-risk patients. It is now available at KRS Health Skin Cancer Clinic.
It does not replace accredited skin cancer doctors as their trained eye is still very much needed to assess dermoscopic images of suspect skin spots. However, by accurately marking all new and changed lesions the IntelliStudio makes the job of our skin cancer doctors much easier.
Using a 50-megapixel camera with 400 times magnification and artificial intelligence, the IntelliStudio will help us document your entire skin and track changes to individual skin spots over time so we can detect skin cancers as soon as possible and help save lives when it comes to melanomas.
Over 1700 Australians die each year from melanoma.
However, melanoma is nearly always curable if detected early. How can we ensure that we survive this preventable form of cancer? We need to monitor our skin for any suspicious changes. This includes change in size, colour or symmetry of existing moles and the appearance of new spots that persist for more than a few weeks on the skin.
The Importance of Change
The Solution
Many melanomas appear as a new spot whilst some begin from a pre-existing mole. Often these changes are too subtle early on for a doctor to confidently diagnose melanoma. However follow up photography with use of the IntelliStudio artificial intelligence provides a reliable way to assess whether a change has occurred allowing much earlier detection of a developing melanoma.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should have Total Body Photography?
Living under the harsh Australian sun – your risk of melanoma is much greater than elsewhere in the world. This is especially true if you have more than 100 moles, have already had a melanoma or have 2 or more close relatives (parents, siblings, or children) who have had melanoma. Experts advise that people in these high-risk groups benefit from total body photography for early melanoma detection.
Please bear in mind that the photographs are an aid to medical follow up, not a replacement for a thorough skin check by your skin doctor.
