Abstract

Early detection of skin cancer is essential in order to obtain an improved prognosis. Clinicians need more objective and non‑invasive examination methods to support their decision whether to biopsy or not tumoral lesions. These may include several imaging techniques such as dermoscopy, videodermoscopy, also known as sequential digital dermoscopy (SDD), computer‑aided diagnosis (CAD), total body photography, imaging and high‑frequency ultrasonography (HFUS), reflectance confocal microscopy, multiphoton tomography, electrical impedance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, stepwise two‑photon‑laser spectroscopy and quantitative dynamic infrared. This review summarizes the current developments in the field of melanocytic lesions, such as naevi and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) imaging techniques. The aim was to collect and analyze data concerning types, indications, advantages and disadvantages of modern imaging techniques for in vivo skin tumor diagnosis. Two main methods were focused on, namely videodermoscopy and HFUS, which can be included in daily dermatologists' practice. In skin tumors HFUS allows the assessment of tumoral lesions with depth smaller than 1.5 cm, being described a correlation between ultrasonographic depth and the histologic index.
