A2 - Mikailov, Anar PY - 2023 T2 - Fitzpatrick’s Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, 9e AB - Dermoscopy uses a device (i.e., dermatoscope) that magnifies and polarizes light to view the skin in more detail. Photography can be used with dermoscopy to monitor skin lesions over time. Dermoscopy significantly improves the sensitivity and specificity of melanoma detection, but also has a role in nonmelanoma skin cancer detection and in inflammatory dermatoses. Epiluminescence microscopy, incident light microscopy, skin-surface microscopy, and dermatoscopy are synonyms.
