[4 min watch] Terminology in dermoscopy: Prof Giuseppe Argenziano | May 2021
In this month’s skin cancer update video, Professor Giuseppe Argenziano discusses the metaphorical versus analytical approach to terminology in dermoscopy.
Giuseppe takes us through some real-life examples, first discussing the blink approach (looking at a dermoscopic image and knowing immediately what the lesion is) and how we use analytical language in cases where we don’t know what the answer.
In cases where we are sure of the answer, however, metaphorical language is often more appropriate, as it can get to the point in describing the lesion. The question is whether or not the analytical approach is better than the metaphorical approach in reaching the correct diagnosis.
Giuseppe proposes the reasons why we need both.
