With rates of skin cancer continuing to increase, new early detection services are more important than ever before.Ĭurrently, Prof Janda and the ACEMID team are undertaking a three-year study of skin lesions in volunteer participants using the VECTRA 3D Total body imaging systems, which were funded in part by the PA Research Foundation. 'My research has aimed to improve the prevention and early detection of melanoma.
'The system produces a total body 3D avatar that enables clinicians and researchers to more accurately monitor skin spots over time.' 'ACEMID aims to develop more efficient and effective screening for the early detection of melanoma through the provision of an innovative 3D total body photography imaging system,' Prof Janda said.
Imagine the impact you could have in reducing rates of skin cancer if you could establish 15 VECTRA 360 3D Whole Body Imaging Systems in three states – that's the job ahead of Professor Monika Janda from the University of Queensland's Dermatology Research Centre.Īs the re search director of the Australian Centre of Excellence in Melanoma Imaging and Diagnosis (ACEMID) research project, Prof Janda's focus, and that of the project, is the transformation of early detection measures for melanoma through the validation and eventual rollout of imaging systems to reduce the burden skin cancers place on patients, their families and the healthcare system.
