This week Dr Paola Pasquali catches up with Prof. Salvador Gonzalez-Rodriguez. Considered one of the “fathers” of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy, Prof. Gonzalez speaks about the role of RCM in the universe of non-invasive imaging techniques. He also speaks about the most common uses in dermatology, its sensitivity for diagnosing malignancies and the learning curve for this procedure, and explains the potential uses in teledermatology and the future hand-held prototype.
