Study of smartphone suitability for mapping of skin chromophores

Abstract: RGB (red-green-blue) technique for mapping skin chromophores by smartphones is proposed and studied. Three smartphones of different manufacturers were tested on skin phantoms and in vivo on benign skin lesions using a specially designed light source for illumination. Hemoglobin and melanin indices obtained by these smartphones showed differences in both tests. In vitro tests showed an increment of hemoglobin and melanin indices with the concentration of chromophores in phantoms. In vivo tests indicated higher … Show more

“…Specially developed software transmits the obtained spectral images via mobile network to a remote server that converts them into distribution maps of the three main skin chromophores (melanin, oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin) and then transmits the maps back for displaying on the smartphone touchscreen. More details on the RGB-LED smartphone add-on prototype and its tests are provided in [17,18]. …”
