Abstract

A dermatoscopia digital tem avançado significativamente, promovendo melhorias na caracterização e monitoramento de lesões cutâneas. Este artigo revisa os avanços recentes na área, com destaque para a teledermoscopia e a integração de tecnologias de imagem complementares, como ultrassom, infravermelho e inteligência artificial. Estudos demonstram que essas inovações aumentam a precisão diagnóstica, permitem a detecção precoce de malignidades e otimizam a gestão clínica. A padronização da terminologia e o uso de dispositivos portáteis facilitam a prática clínica e reduzem a necessidade de biópsias desnecessárias. Os resultados indicam que a dermatoscopia digital e a teledermoscopia estão transformando a prática dermatológica, proporcionando diagnósticos mais precisos e tratamentos mais eficazes, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
