MoleMonitor provide patients and their doctors with a "Patient Pack".

This includes: -

  1. Mole Mapping
    14-16 high-resolution photographs of the total body are produced. These identify the location and condition of every mole on the body enabling the patient and doctor to spot changes over time and any new moles that may develop. Mole mapping is particularly relevant for people with many and diverse moles. It takes about thirty minutes to carry out.
  2. Computerised Dermoscopy
    Individual mole images and computer analysis using a high intensity non invasive light source will produce an image of the whole mole including the portion under the skin not visible to the naked eye. This is magnified and run against a computer programme that provides, with a high degree of accuracy, a risk analysis. This indicates whether a mole is high risk, requiring further detailed evaluation and treatment or low risk, requiring no further action. The computerised dermatoscope will identify a malignant melanoma before it is visible to the naked eye and also help prevent unnecessary biopsy thereby avoiding unnecessary scarring. The analysis of six moles takes about twenty minutes to complete.

All images are stored and used for future detailed evaluation. These images and the computer analysis are included in the "Patient Pack". A summary is provided for your doctor to keep on your file.
