In medical imaging, a fiducial marker facilitates tissue image correlation that allows for image analysis, normalization and correction of the optical exposure and spectral and spatial distribution in order to compensate for the surface reflections, sub surface tissue interactions and spatial orientation of the excitation and imaging axes to the subject tissue. Using a cross comparison, clinicians can model tissue image data in different forms in order to reference and compare data from various spectral components and or from different images. This may enhance human interpretation between images including the variations between images even when the spectral, spatial and optical conditions or the image resolution or sensitivity are compromised. Such may be used to assess cosmetic, moisturizing, therapeutic materials and treatments.

A method of facial treatment of a user while wearing a treatment system is disclosed. The treatment system includes a flexible film and circuitry disposed on or within the flexible film. The method includes conformally disposing the flexible film over a face of the user and applying a radio frequency (RF) wave, generated by the circuitry, on skin of the face. The method eliminates the need for a user (or a third-party operator) to hold the device by hand. In addition, the thin film can be configured as a face mask allowing treatment over a large area of skin at any given time.

A tool for use with an image capturing device for enabling capture of an image for analysis and/or evaluation. The tool includes a first end and a second end being connected by at least one wall. The first end is configured to be positioned over a surface enclosing a target facial area of a user for image capture thereof, and the second end is configured to receive the image capturing device. The second end includes an inner surface facing the first end and an outer surface. The tool may also include a reflective device located at the inner surface of the second end for aligning the position of the first end over the surface such that the target facial area is enclosed for image capture thereof.

A device for acquiring first and subsequent images of a suspect area on a patient and methods for monitoring or detecting changes of the suspect area over time and providing notification when the changes exceed a threshold. The device may be an imaging device, such as a digital camera, possibly augmented with physical or optical devices for arranging the orientation and/or distance of the imaging device with respect to the suspect area. In addition, methods for identifying, relocating, acquiring a first and/or subsequent image of the suspect area, and performing a comparative analysis of respective images are also described. Results of the comparative analysis can be used to notify and/or assist a medical professional in treating or counselling the patient.
