Canfield’s VECTRA WB360 whole-body imaging system was recently donated to the “Andreas Syggros” Hospital by the Onassis Foundation, marking the first WB360 system to be featured in a Greek hospital. This system, which can offer 3D imaging through 46 stereo-vision pods that take pictures with cross-polarized and non-polarized lighting, generating a single 3D image of the entire body, is considered the future of Dermatology and Skin Oncology. As an addition to the newly reconstructed Melanoma and Skin Cancer Center, the 3D imaging system will provide clinicians and researchers the ability to identify changes in suspicious lesions on the surface of the skin over time. The WB360 creates a precise 3D body map of the patient, which gives “Andreas Syggros” Hospital a way to combat the country’s high rate of melanoma. As of today, VECTRA WB360, a synonym for medical innovation and research in the field of dermatology, will safeguard the extraordinary work undertaken in this updated Center.
In the September 2022 issue of Face and Body Germany, Prof. Dr. med. Dimitra Kotsougiani-Fischer of AESTHETIKON in Mannheim and Heidelberg Germany discusses how the VECTRA H2 enables detailed preoperative documentation and quantifies volume defects quickly and easily.
Last week, ten doctors broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to row one million meters and raised around $245,000 for melanoma and skin cancer research at the University of Queensland Dermatology Research Centre. The endurance rowing challenge to break the record for the fastest team to row one million meters was in honor of team leader, Dr Chris Conyard’s sister-in-law, Phoebe Eales, who passed away at 31 as a result of melanoma.
In June, FaceReality, an AI driven module within Canfield’s Mirror® for iPad® app, was awarded 3rd place in the IMCAS Innovation of the Year competition series. The series highlights the latest advances in the fields of dermatology, plastic surgery, skincare, and aesthetic science.
This story features Scott Rosato, a melanoma patient of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and his journey to monitor the 700 moles on his body. Scott and his doctors have been observing his skin carefully for 25 years, since the first of 20 melanomas was removed. Under the care of Dr. Ashfaq Marghoob, a renowned skin cancer expert, Rosato now gets his entire body scanned quickly and efficiently in Canfield’s VECTRA WB360 whole-body imaging system. The system captures patient images using 46 stereo vision pods and captures cross polarized and non-polarized images to create a precise 3D body map of the patient. The 3D body map is designed to assist clinicians and researchers with identifying changes in suspicious lesions on the surface of the skin over time and will help Dr. Marghoob with lesions requiring closer examination.
Canfield’s VECTRA WB360 was recently installed at the Hopital de la Conception-AP-HM Marseille, making it the first WB360 system to be featured in a French hospital. The whole-body imaging system will be the centerpiece of the hospital’s multi-room system for clinical dermatology, where it includes rooms for body mapping and confocal microscopy. The VECTRA WB360 captures patient images using 46 stereo vision pods with cross-polarized and non-polarized lighting, generating a single 3D image of the entire body. Incorporating Canfield’s AI-driven DermaGraphix® software, the 3D images are used for pigmented lesion and rash surveillance. Using VECTRA’S 3D imaging technology Prof. Jean-Jacques Grob and Jilliana Monnier, MD can examine individual lesions, record data, and monitor patients over time. This latest installation in Marseille is one of fifteen WB360 systems in Europe and is the fifth system so far in 2022.
Canfield’s Mirror mobile app for iPad was featured recently in the January and February edition of MedEsthetics magazine. Both the Mirror Mobile app and it's new AI-driven module, FaceReality, was included in a list of strategies that can improve patient satisfaction from first encounters to follow-up care. Mirror Mobile app with FaceReality allows physicians to simulate outcomes based on the patient’s desire to improve their first impression, (whether it be healthier, competent, or well-rested) through surgical and non-surgical procedures.
Canfield is proud to announce the VISIA® Skin Analysis System has been voted Favorite Diagnostic Tool in the 2022 Aestheticians' Choice Awards. This is the fourth time VISIA has achieved this award.
Canfield’s VECTRA XT was recently featured on the sixth episode of HBO Max’s 'And Just Like That' where the series' main character Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, was imaged in an aesthetic consultation. Watch the video below to see her reaction:
