Skin cancer is the most common cancer in North America, with over 550000 new cases being diagnosed each year. One in seven Canadians will develop a skin cancer during their lifetime. At present, the clinical diagnosis of skin cancer is based on visual examination followed by biopsy of suspicious lesions. Dermoscopy is commonly used to magnify the lesions for a more accurate examination. Various types of pigmented skin lesions, particularly regarding the differentiation of benign and malignant melanocytic lesions, can be determined through detection of specific dermoscopic features using dermoscopes.

皮肤癌是北美最常见的癌症，每年新诊断的病例超过550000例。七分之一的加拿大人会在有生之年患上皮肤癌。目前，皮肤癌的临床诊断是基于视觉检查，然后对可疑的病变进行活检。皮肤镜通常用来放大病变，以便进行更准确的检查。各种类型的色素性皮肤损害，特别是关于良恶性黑素细胞损害的区分，可以通过使用皮肤镜检测特定的皮肤镜特征来确定。
