Remarkable advancements in medical dermatology continue to reshape how clinicians detect and monitor skin disease, ultimately improving patient outcomes. A recent FOXBusiness segment highlights how transformative imaging technologies are being rapidly adopted across dermatology practices, demonstrating their growing role in modern clinical workflows. At the forefront of this innovation is Canfield Scientific’s VECTRA® WB360 whole-body 3D imaging system, featured prominently in the segment.

Designed specifically for dermatology, the VECTRA WB360 captures the patient’s entire exposed skin surface and body contour in a single, instantaneous capture. The resulting high-resolution, three-dimensional image delivers a comprehensive visualization of the patient’s skin, enabling more efficient and consistent screening compared to traditional methods that require multiple manual photographs. In addition to improving clinical efficiency, the system’s standardized and streamlined imaging process reduces photography time, helping to improve patient comfort and reduce anxiety during examinations.

The FOXBusiness segment also features Dr. Veronica Rotemberg, Director of the Dermatology Informatics Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who discusses how advanced imaging tools are reshaping dermatologic care across both private practices and major academic medical centers. Dr. Rotemberg describes how the VECTRA WB360, when combined with Canfield’s pocket-sized dermatoscope, enhances clinical workflow and supports more informed diagnostic decision-making.

Integrated with Canfield’s advanced total body skin surveillance software, DermaGraphix®, the VECTRA Whole Body 3D System enables dermatologists to view individual lesions, monitor changes in skin condition over time, and identify areas that may require closer clinical evaluation. When paired with Canfield’s compact dermatoscope for high-resolution dermoscopic imaging, clinicians can capture detailed lesion imagery that supports earlier and more precise detection. By leveraging these complementary technologies, Dr. Rotemberg and her team have improved diagnostic specificity while reducing unnecessary procedures. As she explains, “As dermatologists, our goal is to find all skin cancers while minimizing unnecessary biopsies. That’s a delicate balance. These tools help improve what we call specificity—identifying cancer more accurately while avoiding procedures that patients don’t need.”

Memorial Sloan Kettering is among many institutions recognizing the growing impact of advanced imaging technologies in dermatology. Internationally, organizations are also embracing these innovations. The Australian Skin Cancer Foundation recently launched a new 3D Skin Check Mobile Clinic designed to expand access to advanced skin surveillance. In the United Kingdom, King Charles III has recognized the Melanoma Institute Australia for its leadership in treatment and research initiatives utilizing VECTRA WB360 technology.

As these technologies continue to expand globally, routine skin examinations are becoming more accessible, patients are becoming more engaged in their skin health, and preventative strategies are evolving through the integration of advanced imaging and software analytics. Canfield Scientific remains committed to supporting these advancements and driving continued innovation in dermatologic imaging.
