Abstract: A system (SYS) for obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) scan of a body part or a complete body to enable inspection of at least a part of the body part or the complete body is described. The system has an image acquisition system (IAQ) configured for obtaining a plurality of images (IMGS) from the body part or the complete body from a first plurality of first viewing directions and configured for obtaining a plurality of depth maps (DIMGS) from the body part or the complete body from a second plurality of second viewing directions. The system has an image processor (IPROC) configured for determining a three-dimensional model of the body part.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a dermoscope and a method for forming an image of a part of a skin having one or more at least partly transparent structures, such as at least partly transparent hair. The dermoscope has a light source, a light shaping unit, and an image forming lens. The light source is arranged to provide light to the light shaping unit. The light shaping unit is arranged to direct at least part of the light via an immersion fluid to the part of the skin having the one or more at least partly transparent structures to be imaged at incident angles in the immersion fluid larger than 70 degrees relative to the optical axis of the dermoscope. The image forming lens is arranged to receive at least light refracted from the one or more at least partly transparent structures.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an analysis unit for assessment of hair condition, including a map processor configured to at least: obtain a first follicular map representing a first plurality of hair root positions in a first videodermoscopy image, obtain a second follicular map representing a second plurality of hair root positions in a second videodermoscopy image, determine a common skin area from the first follicular map and the second follicular map, relate hair root positions in the second follicular map to hair root positions of the first follicular map in the common skin area to determine a plurality of related hair root positions, and compare a change in condition of individual hair between the first and second videodermoscopy image to determine the analysis result suitable for assessment of hair condition.
