Validation of Dermoscopy as a Real-time Noninvasive Diagnostic Imaging Technique for Actinic Keratosis

Abstract

The sensitivity and specificity of dermoscopy for the diagnosis of AK were high, as was the concordance between dermoscopy results and histopathological findings. As a real-time noninvasive diagnostic imaging technique for AK, dermoscopy may be incorporated in the management of patients with these lesions.
