Investigation and Analysis of the Application Status of Skin Imaging Technology in Yunnan Province
Objective To understand and analyze the training of the purchase,use,and testing personnel of skin imaging equipment in medical institutions in Yunnan Province,and to lay the foundation for high-quality skin imaging technology.Methods Questionnaires were distributed to secondary medical and above medical institutions carrying out skin disease,medical cosmetic surgery,and plastic surgery in Yunnan Province to investigate the purchase,use,testing personnel training,and satisfaction of skin imaging equipment(desktop/workstation dermis cope,reflectance confocal microscope,Wood's lamp,multispectral skin detector,and skin ultrasound),and the questionnaire data were collected and analyzed.Results A total of 90 valid questionnaires were collected,involving 90 medical institutions.① Among the 90 medical institutions,there are 161 skin imaging equipment,including 49 desktop/workstation dermascopes,4 reflectance confocal microscope,66 Wood's lamps,41 VISIA skin detectors,and 1 skin ultrasound.The areas with the most skin imaging equipment are Kunming(30.43％),Honghe(24.22％),Baoshan(10.56％)and Qujing(8.70％).② Sixty-seven medical institutions have participated in online and offline training,accounting for 74.44％of all medical institutions;65 medical institutions(72.22％)have special personnel engaged in using,testing and issuing test reports;28 medical personnel got CSID dermoscopic primary certificate,10 got intermediate certificate,6 got CSID reflectance confocal microscope primary certificate,3 got an intermediate certificate,2 got skin ultrasound CSID intermediate certificate,and 3 got primary certificate.③ 83.33％of professionals in medical institutions believe that skin imaging examination is helpful for clinical diagnosis and treatment;66.67％of skin imaging professionals in medical institutions have a strong demand for operation and diagnostic training of systematic and standardized skin imaging equipment.④ Among the 90 surveyed medical institutions,53.33％expressed a future procurement demand for derma-scope,reflectance confocal microscopes(53.33％),skin ultrasound(57.78％),and for VISIA-like skin analyzers(52.22％).Conclusion Dermatological imaging technology in Yunnan Province has been developed to a certain extent,and the popularity of desktop/workstation dermascope in the main skin imaging equipment is relatively high.However,the distribution of skin imaging equipment in different regions is extremely uneven.A considerable proportion of medical institutions still lack professional personnel trained in dermatological imaging technology,highlighting the urgent need to strengthen systematic and standardized training and assessment in skin imaging skills.
