The Australian Centre of Excellence in Melanoma Imaging and Diagnosis (ACEMID) is revolutionising melanoma screening through a globally unique research program uniting world-leading expertise across dermatology, behavioural science, epidemiology, health economics, statistics, AI, data science, genetics, and pathology.

Established in 2019, ACEMID operates across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, connecting The University of Queensland, Monash University and The University of Sydney with 15 metropolitan, regional, and rural hospitals and health services.

By developing digitally enabled, personalised early detection pathways powered by advanced imaging and AI, ACEMID is transforming the melanoma patient journey — from prevention to diagnosis and treatment. Its integrated, multidisciplinary model ensures the highest research standards and rapid translation into clinical care, setting a new global benchmark for early melanoma and patient outcomes.

Professor H Peter Soyer, University of Queensland, reviews high-resolution 3D skin images using the 3D imaging system, supporting early melanoma detection through advanced imaging technology.

Professor H Peter Soyer, University of Queensland, takes close-up dermoscopic images to reveal detailed patterns in skin lesions, helping doctors detect melanoma early.

"The introduction of the 3D imaging machine in our area has significantly improved access to skin imaging services. This technology has made it easier for community members to have detailed skin checks, which was previously limited or unavailable in the region.
Anecdotally, we have seen positive changes among participants who have participated in the ACEMID research. Many have reported becoming more aware of their skin health and adopting better sun safety habits and skin care -such as using sunscreen more regularly, wearing protective clothing, and paying closer attention to changes in their skin.
While these are early, informal observations, it's clear that the availability of the 3Dimaging machine and ACEMID research is making a meaningful difference in both access to care and personal health behaviours in our community."
