This book focuses on the significance and implication of in-vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) for non-invasive high-resolution imaging of the skin. The content of this book encompasses the most relevant and up-to-date aspects of RCM including a hands-on guide for confocal imaging and a chapter devoted to bridging the gap between dermoscopy, RCM and histopathology.
All chapters are lavishly illustrated and reader-friendly structured: Numerous black & white confocal images display annotations in order to explain the subtle RCM criteria. In addition, schematic drawings summarize the most important RCM criteria. At the end of each chapter core messages recapitulate the most pertinent facets.
