TrichoScan®
TrichoScan software is an add on for Molemax software.
- TrichoScan® is the first computerized trichogram made available worldwide that calculates hair growth parameters easily and rapidly.
- Version 5 recognizes hair using artificial intelligence (AI)
- It calculates hair density using the new instant analysis, and much more.
- TrichoScan® is a painless procedure which is highly reliable and gives validated results.
- It offers very good reproducibility and archivability of the results.
TrichoScan® is a computer-assisted method for determining hair density and hair root status. Images of the scalp are taken using a digital microscope camera. These images are evaluated using special software that determines the key parameters of hair growth automatically or with user guidance.
From version 5 onwards, hair is automatically detected using artificial intelligence (AI). Even curved hair and barely visible hair are now found by the software. This means that in most cases, there is no need to dye the hair.
Procedure
For a TrichoScan® analysis, an area of approximately 2 cm² is first shaved on a thinning part of the scalp. This is barely visible to other people afterwards when the hair from the surrounding area is combed over it. The shortened hair naturally grows back. The shaved area is then photographed with a special camera. The image is automatically evaluated on the computer. Determining hair density, hair number and also the number of terminal and vellus hairs allows good control of hair growth. The measurement can be carried out within one day.
As of version 5, dyeing the hair is usually no longer necessary. Dyeing may only be necessary if there is a lot of grey hair that appears transparent due to the polarization of the cameras.
