After working with previous models of confocal microscopy machines, the newest model of the Vivascope 1500® makes us realize that cutaneous reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is feasible in any clinical setting. In using the previous device, patient visits could last anywhere from 30-60 minutes per lesion. During these visits we would take one stack and...

Dr. Babar K. Rao, board certified Dermatologist, Dermatopathologist, and Mohs Surgeon, leading authority on pigmented lesions, as well as a pioneer in Dermoscopy and Confocal Microscopy delivered the lecture, “In Vivo- Microsopy: Non-invasive diagnostic tools for managing skin lesion in 21st century,” on May 26 at Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Rutgers RWJMS, New...

“I have been doing pathology for last many years, and I still love it. I am interested in learning about non-invasive diagnostic imaging techniques of skin like confocal microscopy” said Dr. Maria Shevchuk, MD, FCAP, an Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and Associate Attending Pathologist at New York...

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive and painless imaging technique that enables in vivo visualization of cellular details of skin. The resolution of this innovative technique is almost comparable to traditional histology. Unlike biopsy RCM enables the investigation of entire lesion. How Does RCM Work? Reflectance confocal microscope is a FDA 510(k) Cleared Class...
