Vectra WB360

2023: Device Announcement

In early June 2023, it became known about the introduction in California hospitals of the Hoag network of the new three-dimensional imaging system of the entire body Vectra WB360, developed by Canfield Scientific. This complex is designed to create a patient's 3D avatar in order to detect possible skin cancer.

Malignant skin lesions are the most common type of cancer worldwide. Millions of people in a wide variety of age groups are diagnosed with the disease each year. When detected early, the neoplasm can be effectively treated by surgery. However, in severe cases, in the absence of therapy, skin cancer provokes the death of the patient. The Vectra WB360 complex, developed specifically for dermatology, makes it possible to detect suspicious pigment formations and common skin diseases in the initial stages.

The system includes 92 cameras that allow you to cover the entire surface of the patient's skin in high resolution. A detailed three-dimensional model of a person is formed in just eight minutes. After that, special software allows you to analyze the state of the skin, highlighting all pigment pathologies and affected areas. The complex is suitable for the control of vitiligo, psoriasis, burn injuries and malignancies.

The Vectra WB360 platform helps clinicians label, measure and track lesions, organize images, and observe change dynamics over time. Experts note that the system allows dermatologists to detect skin cancer at the earliest stage, while avoiding unnecessary biopsies. Thus, the chances of successful treatment are significantly increased.^[1]
