Program

Latest version

The latest TrichoSciencePro © version 1.7 was released in August of 2020.

The new TrichoSciencePro Program version now comes in three different editions - Special Edition (SE), Standard Edition (DE) and Basic Eidtion (BE), which differ by the number of diagnostic and analytical tools offered. Generally, the latest TrichoSciencePro v1.6 version in comparison to earleir program releases, besides certain programming improvements and updates, has received main functional and design changes and additions as follows:

Program Manager interface

The design of the main Program Manager window has changed in order to correspondingly fit for the different content of the new two software editions and at the same time to adopt for more user convenient interface configuration - in order to allow for maximum possible space for patients list records in the first column, all technical control buttons from the bottom of the first column were moved to  the bottom of the third column accordingly, while all performed diagnostic session modules are now located in the second column;

Outpatient card module

The new patient/client portrait/picture to input to personal profile by uploading directly from any camera or existing file folder. The new "Additional information" button under special user created password in order to apply any particular patient sensitive information and limit any unauthorized access to it accordingly. The new "Additional files" to import any data of interest to personal folder and its convenient management via standard Windows file manager interface by placing new "Additional files" subfolder in patient's "Additional studies" folder with a separate access from desktop, where other folders inside, like "Blood work", etc., may be created for additional information sorting;

Trichoscopy module

The addition of all new semiautomatic detection modes for hair density and diameter measurements within any filed of view, which are going to dramatically reduce processing times for Hair density and Hair diameter sections of Trichoscopy study. The new function is initiated by the "Semiautomatic detection mode" control button. To begin with processing, a line, starting anywhere within the field of view and crossing from one to an unlimited number of hairs under any angle, shall be drawn by placing a cursor with a mouse right- button click and, while holding, moving it in any direction, and then releasing the button. Any hairs crossed by these lines, will be detected with their diiameters being measured simultaneously. The earleir Software version's original manual density detection mode with automatic diameter measurement function, or without any diamteter detection, remains the same and now represents another assessment approach, which can be used for any final minor corrections or just on its own, as a primary calculation method, when needed. Also, the semiautomatic mode, same as manual, allows for any measured individual hair diameter corrections by mouse right-button click on hair with a wheel rotation for diameter adjustments. Also, there is one more quick density manual count mode by just clicking on each hair and putting a dot on it eaither by left button for terminal hairs and right button for vellus hairs. There is one other new Measurement display mode function, allowing to display or hide all hair diamater and follicular unit obtained numbers by means of corresponding button, added to vertical control panel with other button above. There is a new separation of measured Terminal hairs diameters into three different groups: Thin hairs (a minimal established value to 60µm), Regular hairs (60µm to 80µm) and Thick hairs (80µm to a maximum value). Each hair group is being marked in a different shades of green color for an immediate visual distinction and additional differentiation in study reports. The change in "Sync windows" function in "Hair density" section easens up its performance for users - by simply pressing its two control buttons now an entire diagnostic image can be turned one degree clockwise or counterclockwise accordingly;

Phototrichogram module

The addition of all new automatic and semiautomatic detection modes for Phototrichogram study for all hairs lengths, diameters and density measurements within any filed of view. The fully automatic Phototrichogram processing, initiated by the new "Automatic detection mode" control button, is expected to be used as a first step, when starting any study. If, prior to processing, the field of view is reduced by rectangular or cirlce area selection function, the automatic detection will occur within the selected area only, including any hairs, which are crossing the boarders of this area as well. After the process of automatic detection is initiated, the corresponding original, filtered and processed images are being displayed by diagnostic image side for a convenient all established results comparison prior to marking them up on original image. There are two new functional buttons for "Image detection preview" and "Cancel preview" added for a convenient automatic detection process images reopening and closing, when necessary. If obtained results are not satisfactory, mostly due to original diagnostic image quality, they may be further partially or fully corrected by another new semiautomatic function, initiated by the next "Semiautomatic detection mode" control button. To continue or to begin a new processing, a line, starting anywhere within the field of view and crossing from one to an unlimited number of hairs under any angle, shall be drawn by placing a cursor with a mouse right- button click and, while holding it, moving a cursor in any direction, and then releasing the button. Any hairs crossed by these lines, will be detected with their lengths and diameters measured. Earlier Software version's original Phototrichogram manual detection function remains the same and now represents the third assessment approach, which can be used for any final minor corrections or just on its own as a primary calculation method, when needed. Also, both semiautomatic and manual modes allow for any measured individual hair length and diameter corrections, when placing a cursor by hair tips and with a mouse right- button click moving it for length or rotating a wheel for diameter adjustments. There is another new Measurement display mode function, allowing to display or hide all length, diameter and follicular unit obtained numbers by means of corresponding button, added to vertical control panel with all other buttons above. There is a new separation of measured Terminal hairs diameters into three different groups: Thin hairs (a minimal established value to 60µm), Regular hairs (60µm to 80µm) and Thick hairs (80µm to a maximum value). Each hair group is being marked in a different shades of green color for an immediate visual distinction and additional differentiation in study reports. The change in "Sync windows" function easens up its performance for users - by simply pressing its two control buttons now an entire diagnostic image can be turned one degree clockwise or counterclockwise accordingly. Also Follicular unit and Perifollicular sign count functions, which are identical to the same used in "Hair density" section of the Trichoscopy module, have been added to "Phototrichogram" module in order to make this study the most potentially informative resource, available by quick and single assessment;

"Follicular Unit Analysis" module

new specialized diagnostic module, designated exclusively for hair transplant surgeons needs to establish and calculate recipient and donor scalp surface areas with a correction to applicable scalp curvature, available follicular units and hairs counts, their densities and diameters, numbers of all grafts, available in donor area  and to be added to recipient area, in order to achieve desired treatment results, etc.

All diagnostic modules

The "Camera scaling" function now allows in addition to preprogrammed magnification values, an ability to input any other value of magnification or width of the image capture window in order to adopt for virtually any visualization equipment range for precise measurement establishment. The "Point localization" function now offers different points per each specific diagnostic study recommendations and also contains new "Localize" and "New point marker" control buttons for more convenient handling.
