Measuring and monitoring skin conditions using 3D imaging

MetaOptima设计并开发了连接到智能手机或平板电脑的MoleScopeTM，并捕获高质量的2D显微图像，供皮肤科医生远程查看。随附的应用程序提供2D图像分析，并允许随着时间的推移监测皮肤病变，以帮助识别皮肤癌，这是北美最常见的癌症。在价格范围内没有其他皮肤镜适合患者用作自我筛查设备。 我们希望使用现成的3D相机将2D成像扩展到3D平台，以我们已经开发的2D皮肤镜成像存档和监测软件为基础，对更多的皮肤状况进行监测。该3D成像平台针对移动的3D成像进行了优化，将成为首个用于皮肤癌诊断的基于云的全身成像系统。此外，3D成像将使新的应用，如监测治疗的几个皮肤状况，如痤疮，湿疹和伤口。其他美容应用包括测量皱纹，美容手术的结果和脱发。 与MetaOptima Inc.合作，该提案旨在利用PI在3D图形方面的专业知识，开发可用于在智能手机或平板电脑上获取和处理3D图像的软件。

MetaOptima has designed and developed MoleScopeTM that attaches to a smartphone or tablet, and captures high-quality 2D microscopic images for remote review by dermatologists. The accompanying app provides analysis of the 2D images and allows monitoring skin lesions over time, to help identify skin cancer, the most common cancer in North America. There are no other dermoscopes within the price range suitable for patient use as a self-screening device. We wish to extend the 2D imaging into a 3D platform using off-the-shelf 3D cameras to perform monitoring of many more skin conditions, building on the archiving and monitoring software we have already developed for 2D dermoscopic imaging. This 3D imaging platform with optimization for mobile 3D imaging will be the first cloud based full-body imaging system for skin cancer diagnosis. Also, 3D imaging will enable new applications such as monitoring treatment for several skin conditions such as acne, eczema and wounds. Other cosmetic applications include measuring wrinkles, outcomes of cosmetic surgery, and hair loss. Working with MetaOptima Inc., this proposal aims to engage and access the PI's expertise in 3D graphics, to develop software which can be used for acquiring and processing 3D images on a smartphone or tablet.
