Confocal Microscopy

Reflectance confocal microscopy can be integrated into the daily workflow of dermatology practices, sparing unnecessary biopsies, according to a study.

Reflectance confocal microscopy may increase consistent and accurate melanoma diagnoses independently of clinical and dermoscopic features, according to a study.

Adjunctive use of reflectance confocal microscopy for suspect melanoma lesions reduces unnecessary excisions, according to results from a clinical trial published in JAMA Dermatology.

Reflectance confocal microscopy was more effective than dermoscopy or high-frequency ultrasonography in guiding radiation treatment in a small cohort of patients with basal cell carcinoma, according to a study.
