Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals of all ages with muco-cutaneous lesions that can be imaged non-invasively.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with allergies to imaging materials or those unable to comply with imaging procedures may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of noninvasive imaging techniques in diagnosing skin and mucosal lesions, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy prior to biopsy. It utilizes various imaging modalities, including dermoscopic imaging, 3D total body photography, confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography, and ultrasound. The collected images will be stored in an Image Repository to support clinical practice, education, and future research initiatives.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning for patients with skin and mucosal lesions.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies using noninvasive imaging techniques have shown promise in improving diagnostic accuracy, suggesting potential success for this approach.
