Skin Lesions
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study a fluorescent contrast dye is applied to a suspicious skin lesion. Images are acquired and processed. The information is used to develop a prediction model for the presence of malignant transformation in the skin.
Detailed description
Images acquired in the study are used for the development of a software analysis program.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation between imaging and pathology. | No long term follow up is necessary. | Patients are imaged and then undergo a biopsy. Images are used to develop a software predicting model based on pathology. Sensitivity and specificity parameters are calculated. No long term follow up is required since the biopsy is performed on the skin imaged. The follow up required is for the pathology for the skin excised. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acute response | up to 1 day | The acute dermal response to the imaging procedure is evaluated. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| None specified. | 0 | no other outcome is specified in the . |
