A skin check that remembers every spot

A standard skin check relies on what your doctor can see on the day. AI-driven Total Body Mapping adds a precise, photographic memory of your skin, so the next check starts with a comparison rather than a guess.

At Sunstate Family Practice & Skin Cancer Clinic we use the FotoFinder ATBM master, an automated total body dermoscopy system. It photographs your skin in standardised positions, then lines up every new image against your baseline so even subtle changes stand out.

Skin check or Total Body Mapping?

Both appointments are doctor-led. The difference is how much of your skin’s history we capture and keep for next time.

Your GP examines your skin with a dermatoscope, a magnifying light that reveals structures invisible to the naked eye, and decides which spots are reassuring and which need a closer look.

  • Suitable for most adults as part of regular monitoring
  • Recommended if you have noticed a new, changing or unusual spot
  • Focused on spots that may need monitoring, biopsy or removal
  • Often done yearly, depending on your risk factors

This is how Bodyscan compares two visits. Switch between them to watch the system sort every mole into unchanged, changed or new.

  • 15 mapped at baseline
  • 0 changed
  • 0 new

Illustration only. Real results are reviewed by your GP, who decides whether a spot needs monitoring, a closer dermoscopic look or removal.

    Total body photographs

    A trained team member guides you through a series of standard poses in front of the ATBM master. The automated camera captures your whole body in minutes, with consistent angles, distance and lighting every time.

    Mosaic view and Bodyscan

    Every mole from the scan is laid out on one screen. At follow-up visits, Bodyscan compares the new images with your baseline and marks spots that are new or have changed.

    Close-up video dermoscopy

    Your GP examines your skin and takes magnified dermoscopic images of selected spots, so their fine structure can be compared over time in your personal mole gallery.

    AI-assisted pre-assessment

    FotoFinder’s built-in AI gives individual lesions a pre-assessment score, adding a second, consistent set of eyes. It supports your doctor’s judgement and never replaces it.

    Your plan, explained

    Your GP talks you through the findings: what to watch, when to come back and what would prompt an earlier review. If a spot needs a biopsy or removal, many can be treated here at the practice.

Bayside living means a lifetime of sun

Queensland has some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Even if you are careful now, your skin may carry damage from years of boating, gardening, sport and school holidays at the beach. Finding a change early means treatment is more likely to be effective.

Questions patients ask us

What is AI-driven Total Body Mapping?

Total Body Mapping, also called mole mapping or total body photography, uses the FotoFinder ATBM master to take standardised photographs of your whole body. Built-in AI helps flag new and changed spots and gives individual lesions a pre-assessment score. Your GP reviews every result and makes the clinical decisions.

Does the AI diagnose skin cancer?

No. The AI is a decision support tool. It highlights spots for attention and compares images over time. Diagnosis and treatment decisions are always made by your doctor.

Do I need a referral?

No. You do not need a referral to see a GP for a skin check. Book online with HotDoc and choose the TBM (Total Body Mapping) + Skin Check appointment type, or call us on (07) 3207 7744.

Who should consider Total Body Mapping?

It is often recommended if you have lots of moles or freckles, fair skin or a history of sunburn, a personal or family history of melanoma, or if your doctor has suggested closer monitoring.

How often should I come back?

Your GP will recommend an interval based on your personal risk. Many people return every 6 to 12 months so new images can be compared with their baseline.

What happens if a spot looks suspicious?

Your GP will discuss your options, which may include monitoring, a biopsy or removal of the lesion. Many procedures can be done at the practice. If you need specialist care, your GP will arrange a referral.

Where are my images stored?

Images are date-stamped and stored securely with your medical record at the practice, not on personal devices.
