Abstract
Total body skin imaging (TBSI) is being increasingly used as an aid to melanoma detection in high-risk individuals. In this article, we review the rationale, techniques, advantages, and potential piffalls of TBSI as an aid to melanoma detection. We highlight the technical and clinical considerations relevant to implementation of TBSI in clinical practice.Keywords
