In this epidode Scope TV host, Lee Constable, talks to Professor Soyer about using technology in the early detection of melanoma.
The Vectra machine allows a detailed 360 degree image of the patient to be captured in minutes.
Prof Soyer is also able to demonstated the prototype that was in use from 2015 to 2017 at the Centre, compared to the new VECTRA WB360 which has double the amount of cameras.
