2023年6月14日 · We evaluated the role of a novel ultraviolet-induced fluorescent dermatoscope (UVFD) to assess the surgical site prior to Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). This was an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved, observational study conducted between October 2022 and January 2023.

With the development and availability of new diagnostic tools, we are currently facing an increased use of dermoscopy combined with UVA light—ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy (UVFD). This technique has proven to support the early recognition of tumors such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, glomus tumor, and apocrine hidrocystoma ...

UV and sub-UV dermatoscopy, categorized into different methods on the basis of the emitted wavelength and signal acquisition process (reflectance versus fluorescence), augment conventional dermatoscopy by optimizing safety margins in melanoma, facilitating early detection of tumor recurrence, and enhancing visualization in non-neoplastic conditi...

2024年12月13日 · Introduction: Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy (UVF dermoscopy) is a novel diagnostic technique for identifying and diagnosing numerous skin tumors, inflammatory dermatoses, and infectious diseases. The ultraviolet (UV) band has a …

2024年8月23日 · Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermatoscopy (UVFD) has emerged as a novel, commercially-available dermatoscopy mode with multiple applications. 3-5 We have noted that under UVFD, MAY globules have fluorescence that facilitates identification of these dermatoscopic structures by making them more conspicuous to the observer.

2025年1月4日 · Modern dermatoscopes now incorporate real-time UV imaging with magnification. This article outlines the applications of UV fluorescence dermoscopy (UVFD) to assist residents and practicing dermatologists in its effective use, particularly for patients with skin of color.

2024年3月29日 · In UVFD, a simple, cost-effective method that can help identify biopsy sites prior to surgical intervention, high absorption of UV light by melanin and hemoglobin results in images containing dark regions without background fluorescence.

2024年2月19日 · UVFD, utilizing a 365-nm ultraviolet (UV)-light emitting diode-light to evoke UV-fluorescence via the Stokes shift phenomenon, is increasingly used to diagnose skin tumors, and inflammatory and infectious diseases, such as psoriasis and scabies. 2 In our experience, follicular openings can exhibit orange-red or bright blue/green fluorescent ...

UVFD is a novel non-invasive diagnostic method providing additional features of BCCs—dark silhouettes, interrupted follicle pattern, absence of blue-green fluorescence within the tumor compared to the surrounding healthy skin, presence of black globules, white-blue scales, lack of pink-orange fluorescence, presence of well-demarcated borders ...

2024年7月28日 · The aim of the current study was to analyze the ultraviolet-enhanced fluorescence dermoscopy (UVFD) characteristics of BCCs. Methods: BCCs were evaluated under polarized dermoscopy (PD) and UVFD. The findings in PD were described using predefined parameters for dermoscopic evaluation in dermato-oncology.
