MoleExpert-Micro is a program created on a foundation of years of experience in the automated analysis of pigmented skin lesions. The important requirement for this software project was the usability of the software with different image recording systems. The most important requirements for the functioning of this software are high-quality, even and well illuminated incident light microscopic images of skin lesions.

MoleExpert micro was developed for the support of diagnosis findings. The system does not give a diagnosis, but instead provides measurement results on expansion, color, net structure, globules and the border which can be evaluated in comparison with many hundred lesions at any time. The parameters for the ABCD-rule have been recognized for some years as important parameters in dermatoscopy. In addition to this data the software calculates some additional parameters, which have emerged during research work in recent years as relevant (such as color variation and gray veil).

Using a special algorithm suited to the image analysis, some of these parameters are integrated in a score that works with values between 0 and 1. Lesions with a high score are more likely to be a melanoma than lesions with a lower score. Threshold values of the score are dependent on the camera and must be determined in special studies.

As well as the individual scores, the observation of changes for the recognition of melanoma is very important. MoleExpert micro is equipped with a very unique comparison function, which with changes can be assuringly visualized and assessed.

MoleExpert micro measures asymmetry, blur of border, color and size of lesions. These parameters have been commonly accepted as major factors for the ABCD rule.

System Requirements

• Computer with Windows 2000/XP
• (Supported) camera and microscope

Important Note

Before placing your order, please contact us to make sure that your combination of camera and microscope is supported. Usually it is possible to adapt the software to new systems.
