A new imaging device (MelaFind®) from Mela Sciences (www.melasciences.com) was recently approved by the FDA for the detection of melanoma skin cancer. The device scans the skin and compares the image to a library of images to determine whether melanoma is likely to be present. If the computer determines that cancer may be present, a biopsy can be taken. The new device has proven to be highly accurate and may prevent unneeded biopsies.
