( anomas is 90 percent. But when detected...)Latest device for identifying Melanomas,Health

anomas is 90 percent. But when detected late, chances of survival drop to around 65 percent. "I've used the device and it has detected melanomas that look like benign moles and that would not have been detected in a routine clinical examination," he said.

Apart from providing a diagnosis of a lesion, SolarScan also can monitor lesions over time to detect changes, keeping a record in the Body Map software so the lesion can be rechecked over time to ascertain whether it has changed in color or shape. It monitors lesions for subtle changes that may not be apparent through normal visual skin exams.

"The great thing is that computers have perfect memory. In the case of skin, memory is a crucial thing. No doctor can remember every type of skin lesion nor can they remember every person's spot and whether it has changed, but a computer can," Skladnev said. He said SolarScan is easy to use and a medical specialist is required only to check potential problem areas diagnosed by the device.

The developers hope SolarScan, which costs about Rs.50,000 for a basic unit, not only will save lives, but also reduce the number of unnecessary operations in which a spot is cut out just to be on the safe side.
