Mobile teledermatology for skin tumour screening: diagnostic accuracy of clinical and dermoscopic image tele‐evaluation using cellular phones

Background  The ability to diagnose malignant skin tumours accurately and to distinguish them from benign lesions is vital in ensuring appropriate patient management. Little is known about the effects of mobile teledermatology services on diagnostic accuracy and their appropriateness for skin tumour surveillance.
