HOW TO USE THE DERMATOSCOPE
In dermatology this medical device must be used in conjunction with small plates in
contact with the skin (for this configuration). This allows you to observe the skin and make
measurements by analysis of photos or digital video captured by the device.
Contact caps are designed and suitable for use in digital photos.
For the documentation of images in dermatological practice, you must have some
experience in the field of dermatology and a basic knowledge of photography. It is
important to establish a pattern of systematic workflow to ensure the best management of
the pictures, in the event of subsequent tests and visits of the patient the search of the file
related to the picture has to be very fast and easy.
In this configuration the Dino-Lite provides the dermatologist a valuable method for
improving the accuracy of the analysis. The device is able to measure the length (including
the calculation of areas) and the amplitude of plane angle.
The measurements are made by DinoCapture software previously installed on a personal
computer.
Put the contact cap on the microscope (simply push to fit) request the patient to take a
comfortable position and hold still for the duration of the examination:
•
Connect the microscope to the computer
•
Start the software DinoCapture (previously installed)
•
moisten the contact cap and the skin of the patient with disinfectant or oil for
dermatoscopy
•
Put the contact cap on the skin of the patient
•
Choose image or video to capture
•
Use the focus wheel to obtain the required size of the picture
•
Verify on the focus wheel the current magnification
•
Capture the pictures or videos using microtouch
•
Move the device from the patient
•
Place the device on the Amita support (if present)
•
The patient can now relax
•
Move your mouse cursor on the picture to preview the photo on the left side
of the screen (Picture 1)
•
On the top of the screen you can enter the patient information and other
notes deemed necessary (Picture 2)
•
Click on Save as choosing the desired resolution (Picture 3)
•
Save in your computer using the coding system of the patient deemed
necessary (Picture 2)
•
To make measurements see Chapter 10
Dermatoscope investigations must be achieved by keeping the device perpendicular to the
surface inspected in order to minimize the distortion of perspective of the captured image.
The device is intended for external use only
Do not use the device in contact with areas of the body showing wounds,
injuries, body parts inflamed, swollen or painful
