Biophilia Tracker X4 Max evaluates changes in various skin diseases

Literature analysis shows that NLS-skin research is commonly used in various tumor diseases. To study skin tumors, 2D and 3D NLS imaging can be applied. In most cases, the tumor appears as an area of ​​increased chromogenicity, more or less separated from the dermis. It is not possible to define the histological features of tumors based on NLS imaging alone.

For the differential diagnosis of skin tumors such as hemangioma or melanoma, the modalities of ultrascanning and spectral entropy analysis (SEA) can be successfully applied.

Malignant melanoma can be studied using NLS imaging. Melanoma tumors in the NLS study were spindle-shaped, uniform in structure, and distinct from surrounding tissue. We noted the high accuracy of tumor size assessment, which was confirmed by comparison with data obtained from tumor NLS studies before surgical intervention and histological tests after surgery. According to other data, although tumors were well visualized in NLS graphic studies, the main problem was to distinguish tumor parenchyma from surrounding inflammatory infiltrates, as they appeared as single hyperchromatic structures. Therefore, the size of some tumors may have been exaggerated in NLS studies. As the study of Ulrich J. et al. showed that the accuracy of tumor size assessment was greatly improved if we excluded tumors with extensive inflammatory infiltration or mole-related melanoma from the analysis when applying SEA.

Thanks to the modern NLS technology with Biophilia Tracker X4 Max, changes in various skin diseases can be assessed more accurately; it not only improves diagnosis and starts treatment at the right time, but also ensures control of treatment efficiency.
