Non-invasive imaging of skin lesions using advanced microscopy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study utilizes multiphoton microscopy to non-invasively image both pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions in humans. The goal is to characterize the morphological and functional features of these lesions without the need for invasive biopsies. Images obtained through this advanced imaging technique will be compared to those from standard histopathology to assess accuracy and effectiveness. The study aims to enhance the understanding of skin lesions and improve diagnostic methods.
