Vectra WB360 advanced skin cancer screening and surveillance – transforming early skin cancer detection
Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. At least two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime and every 6 hours someone dies from melanoma. Early detection of melanoma is crucial, as evidence shows surgical removal of melanomas in their early stage, while they are still superficial, usually results in a high survival rate.

The Vectra WB360 is the most technologically advanced skin mapping system available. Oracle Healthcare, located in St Leonards, Sydney, is currently the only site in NSW offering this technology to the public.
92 high-definition cameras simultaneously photograph the entire exposed skin surface in one second.
Vectra captures the precise location of all moles and lesions. Combined with digital dermoscopy, photomapping assists in detection of melanoma and other skin cancers.
Vectra imaging provides a comprehensive baseline record of your skin surface. Repeating imaging at regular intervals, assists the early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers by detecting new moles or changes in the colour, shape or size of existing moles.
