Sciascope measures the whole of haemoglobin, melanin and collagen in the stratum corneum, epidermis and dermis to a territory of 2 mm, and recognizes if melanin is showcase in the epidermis or the dermis. The educational substance is put hence as SIAscans, which exhibit how these parts update over the skin.

Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous Analysis (SIA) is a snappy, non-invasive and thoroughly protected method of pigmented skin bruises differentiation with remarkable inclination over clinical and dermatoscopic identifying of melanoma. It smooth to perform and allows examination of skin wounds with staggering precision and in an amazingly objective way. The sensitivity of the system scopes the worth of 96%. It has what's more been showed that Siascopy is the most definitely reliable and reproducible of melanoma non-invasive logical frameworks.

When the scanner enlightens the skin, some of the light is reflected and scattered from the surface. The extra is transmitted into the top layers of the skin. Varying parcels of the incoming light are then firstly held by the melanin in the epidermis before dropping in the dermis, where they are ingested by the hemoglobin in the red overflow vessels. Dispersing moreover happens in the dermis when the light interfaces with the collagen, carrying concerning a package of the light being dispatched over to the surface.

By deciphering the synthesis of wavelengths that are picked up yet again by the Siascope, Siascopy is then provided to create Siascans; the recommended are handled by indicating inbuilt prohibitive numerical models of skin optics. MoleMate is then fit to indicate the user with the generated Siascans for comprehending by the medicinal master.
