About Mole Mapping

To improve the prognosis of melanoma, early detection is key. It is known that around 70% of melanomas come from new lesions and not from existing ones. Melanoma that forms from existing lesions will change over time. Detecting and identifying new and/or changing lesions in people who have many moles can be challenging; the Automated Total Body Mapping (ATBM) Master from FotoFinder has been found to make monitoring suspicious lesions not only easier but signficantly aid in the early detection of Melanoma.

Pilbara Mole Mapping has invested in the ATBM Master to enable accurate and high quality mole maps through the use of a 50 megapixel automated camera and video dermoscope with high zoom function. The camera sequentially takes four images at different heights of the patient in an efficient manner. These images are merged and the process is repeated from different perspectives of the patient. Utilising the MoleAnalyzer Pro Artificial Intelligence and clinical acumen, supsicious lesions are flagged and high resolution dermoscopy is performed. The base line mole map serves as a reference during follow up appointments allowing easy detection of changed or new moles. With follow up mole mapping photos, the ATBM Master can automatically identify new lesions and visible changes in existing moles and assist in the detection of skin cancer.

We work closely with Skin Cancer Doctors review images taken by the ATBM Master through a virtual private network (no images are stored on the cloud or off site) and generate a report for other health practitioners with an individual management plan for each patient. The ATBM Master does not replace full body skin checks performed by doctors; it enables the best care possible in conjunction with a full body skin examination with your chosen Skin Cancer Doctor.
