Herramienta de Escaneo y Proyección Holográfica para las especializaciones de Dermatología y Cirugía Plástica

Resumen

Skin cancer is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world. Early detection and treatment are key to reducing mortality caused by this disease, especially in its most lethal form (melanoma). However, the criteria for diagnosis of skin lesions is diffuse, subjective, and is based more on factors like experience of the doctor and specific situations, rather than quantifiable and truthful criteria. This project seeks to provide a scientific alternative detection to these methods, by designing a device capable of mapping the skin tissue, based on technology available in the marketing that ensures repeatability and traceability of the processes of detection. Interviews with experts in the field of dermatology and vision systems, as well as a literature survey related to the study area, agree that although there are advances in scanning and digitizing of skin lesions, there is still a way to go to be able to obtain repeatable data that can be used for diagnosis. The proposed device seeks to further advance technology in this area.
