Abstract
A technique relates to an imaging apparatus. Extensions are coupled to a support structure, the extensions being spaced a predefined distance from one another, the extensions having a length that protrudes from the support structure. Light sources are coupled to the extensions such that the light sources are positioned to irradiate a scalp. Sensors are coupled to the extensions, the sensors being positioned at an angle to capture images of the scalp having been irradiated by the light sources.
