CBS News New York recently featured Dr. Jonathan Unger, the Medical Director at The Kimberly and Eric J. Waldman Melanoma and Skin Cancer Center at Mount Sinai, and his patient highlighting how Canfield Scientific’s innovative VECTRA^® Whole Body 3D System has enhanced their skin screenings.

The whole-body imaging system instantaneously captures the entire patient’s skin surface and body shape with just one click, producing accurate, high-resolution 3D images. Combined with the advanced total body skin surveillance software, DermaGraphix^®, the VECTRA Whole Body 3D System enables dermatologists to easily examine individual lesions, capture detailed dermoscopic images, monitor skin changes over time, and facilitate appropriate treatment planning. “It gives us a memory of every spot on the patient’s body. Once we have a moment in time, we can always look back.” Dr. Unger explains.

In the segment, Dr. Jonathan Unger additionally attributes greater confidence as a benefit of the VECTRA Whole Body 3D System, stating: “[We can] decide with greater certainty and more information whether something needs to be checked, tested, biopsied, etc. [VECTRA Whole Body 3D System] allows us to have a higher level of confidence about what we are looking at and making a decision about.” This sentiment is shared by high-risk patient Jackie Mills, who appreciates having advanced algorithms assist her dermatologists in monitoring for skin changes: “It gives me the ability to take a deep breath and enjoy my life and not be constantly worried.”

The VECTRA Whole Body 3D System provides greater confidence for both practitioners and their patients by enabling more efficient reviews, assessments, and monitoring. To learn more about the VECTRA Whole Body 3D System, please contact us.
