Total body photography for skin cancer screening

Total body photography may aid in melanoma screening but is not widely applied due to time and cost. We hypothesized that a near‐simultaneous automated skin photo‐acquisition system would be acceptable to patients and could rapidly obtain total body images that enable visualization of pigmented skin lesions.
