With training and experience, dermoscopy has been shown to greatly increase the clinical diagnosis of melanocytic and non-melanocytic, benign and malignant skin lesions, with a significant improvement in the diagnosis of melanoma compared to that achieved by clinical examination alone. Now you can diagnose earlier and more accurately with practical dermoscopy guidance from experts in the field. Dermoscopy: The Essentials, 4th Edition, provides the information you need to master this highly effective, more economical, and less invasive alternative to biopsy. In this fully revised edition, Drs. Giuseppe Argenziano, Gabriella Brancaccio, Rainer Hofmann-Wellenhof, H. Peter Soyer, and Iris Zalaudek explain all aspects of performing dermoscopy and interpreting results, supported by new clinical and dermoscopic images, valuable pearls and checklists, new self-assessment images online to test your skills, and more.

Written by leading teledermatologists and telemedicine experts, this hands-on guide addresses the practical needs of the many emerging teledermatology services worldwide. It covers the medical and technical prerequisites for such services as well as the photographic imaging essentials. It also illustrates the performance of teledermatology by means of clinical examples, discusses teledermatology in underdeveloped countries, and presents specialized methods of teledermatology. The impact of telemedicine on the doctor-patient relationship is explored, and the advantages that accrue from improving access to expert knowledge are explained. In addition, quality assurance, legal assumptions, economic aspects, and the future horizons of such health care services are all considered. A comprehensive appendix provides information on training opportunities, sample protocols, consent forms, information sheets, references, and relevant web links.
