New Device to Detect Skin Cancer From A Picture?
JonathanGCohen writes "News.com is reporting on a new machine that can tell you all about your skin's unique features (excessive oil, UV damage, etc.) using an image scan and software to analyze it. Its inventors plan on developing a version that can even detect skin cancer." From the article: "Apart from numbers, the technology, called Clarity Pro, can depict the depth and severity of wrinkles in a 3D chart, show the extent of bacteria-filled pores in a graph, or represent UV damage in purple dots scattered about your face in a white-light image. It can also calculate how long a person can be exposed to the sun, in minutes or hours a day, before incurring more UV damage."
As CmdrTaco stated, we are human, errors are bound to happen from time to time. Any author can be reached via their name@slashdot.org for specific questions. However, the most efficient means of communication with a live body who can fix something immediately is daddypants@slashdot.org this will notify whomever is currently watching the site and can be corrected as soon as possible.
We always appreciate assistance in making Slashdot a better place to be, and are all hoping to see much more admin/user participation in the near future. Thanks for the heads up. ~SM
