IN ASSOCIATION WITH:
The VECTRA WB360 scan is one of the most advanced tools available for full-body skin imaging. Using a specialised 3D body scanner, the system captures 92 images in just three seconds to create a detailed 3D record of your skin. This advanced 3D scan allows doctors to examine your skin from multiple angles, track changes in moles over time and possibly even detect early signs of skin cancer.
The 3D skin cancer scan, with the VECTRA WB360, is the most advanced total body imaging system to date.
High Diagnostic Accuracy
Early Melanoma Detection
Fast Imaging Speed
3D Avatar for Comparison Over Time
Spot Analysis
It is a useful tool for tracking changes in moles over time by creating a high-resolution 3D avatar of your body that records every visible spot on the skin. The 3D render of your body has multiple analysis capabilities. By tracking changes in your skin over time, this cutting-edge technology facilitates the early identification of potential skin cancer. When detected early, it is easier to treat.
At Avatar Imaging, our VECTRA 3D imaging skin cancer technology provides advanced monitoring that supports early detection and ongoing skin health management.
How does our total body skin cancer scan work?
Our full-body mapping scan is a tool for the early detection of most skin cancers. It uses the VECTRA WB360 scan machine that captures 92 pictures in 3 seconds to render a 3D avatar of your body. This 3D VECTRA scan uses a 3D body scanner that allows medical professionals to examine your skin from different angles and zoom in on moles. 3D body imaging scans compared at regular intervals help to track changes in your skin, evaluate the effectiveness of skincare treatments and identify signs of skin cancer, including early melanoma detection, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Changes to look out for include the appearance of new moles or changes in the size, shape, or colour of existing moles. Your chances of surviving melanoma and other types of skin cancers are determined by how deep it has grown, using a measurement called the Breslow Thickness. The VECTRA Skin Cancer Scan helps with early detection by highlighting spots on the skin and applying filters to identify lesions that may differ from normal tissue. This information allows Avatar Imaging to accurately assess whether a lesion is likely to be a melanoma, providing valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment. VECTRA’s computer analysis helps healthcare providers compare changes in your moles over time to determine whether you have any developing skin cancer. The Total Body Scan should be used as a complementary skin check to routine clinical examination. It's important to remember that only qualified medical professionals can make a definitive diagnosis of skin cancer. With this information, your skin cancer doctor can give you an accurate diagnosis and avoid unnecessary biopsies. Our advanced, whole-body photography service is not limited to those with pre-existing skin conditions. In fact, it's an invaluable tool for proactive, healthy people looking to safeguard their skin and catch any developing cancer. These total-body scans are adept at early skin cancer detection, giving you the best chance for successful treatment.
What happens after your 3D scan?
Many patients wonder what happens after their scan is complete and whether they will receive results immediately. At Avatar Imaging, our VECTRA 3D imaging skin cancer technology works alongside expert clinical review to ensure every visible spot is carefully assessed. Your appointment follows a clear process to help identify any areas that may require closer monitoring:
Scan completed
Your VECTRA WB360 scan captures high-resolution images using an advanced 3D body scanner, creating a detailed 3D record of your skin.
Dermoscopy review
Any spots that appear unusual can be examined more closely using dermoscopy for a more detailed assessment.
Doctor analysis
Your doctor reviews the images from the 3D VECTRA scan alongside clinical examination to identify any areas that may require monitoring or further investigation.
Monitoring or treatment plan
If needed, your doctor may recommend ongoing monitoring, further testing or appropriate treatment. In many cases, your scan simply becomes a baseline record that can be compared with future scans.
