February 2024 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” The document reviews advancements in dermatological imaging modalities, emphasizing their potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce invasive procedures. Technologies like dermoscopy, OCT, RCM, and spectroscopy offer non-invasive diagnostic options for skin conditions, including cancer and hair issues, but face challenges such as high costs and the need for specialized training. Additional techniques like spectral imaging, thermography, and AI/ML are explored for their applications in skin cancer detection, therapeutic evaluation, and disease identification. Despite their benefits, these modalities are not confirmatory and may still require traditional methods for definitive diagnosis. Legal and infrastructural challenges also impact their adoption, particularly in countries like India.
