Patient reassurance and education
“I have used Siascopy for six years and have found it an invaluable tool. I chose this technology because it gives me extra information about my patients’ suspicious moles and lesions through the additional views of the skin and helps me and the patients to come to a more informed decision about removal.
Another important aspect of the system is the level of patient reassurance and education that it offers. Often, I see patients who have been to other dermatologists and feel they are just practicing “defensive medicine”, it seems that no matter how frequently they visit their dermatologist, something needs to be removed.
Recently, I have seen two patients who had lesions that I felt needed removal (but) who refused because they felt I was just like the others. After I did the scans of these lesions and told them in advance what I was looking for, they allowed me to biopsy the lesions. Both proved to be malignant.”

This computer imaging can make a big difference
“Among the sophisticated equipment used by University of California Irvine Melanoma Center physicians is a SIMSYS-MoleMate SIAscope, one of the most advanced melanoma imaging systems in the world. For patients with many moles, this computer imaging can make a big difference, it decreases the number of biopsies needed, so they won’t look like a pincushion.”

Essential
“This (SIMSYS-MoleMate) is essential for people who have lots of atypical moles. It helps with overall management of melanoma risk.”

Review a patient’s moles over time is particularly useful
“MoleMate gives you more information to base your judgment on. Previously I may have looked at a mole and put off doing anything. In one or two cases, when viewed through MoleMate they have been nastier than I thought. Being able to review a patient’s moles over time is particularly useful. I would recommend MoleMate to GPs and skin clinics.”

Patient reassurance and minimize excisions
“We decided to purchase MoleMate to assist with patient reassurance and minimize excisions. We chose MoleMate because it provides clear imagery, is easy to show patients and explain and allows us to keep a record.”
― Dr. James, Queensland, Australia
