New laser scan could help track deadly skin disease

NCT ID NCT04996082

Summary

This study tested a non-invasive laser scanning technique called Raman spectroscopy to measure skin thickening (fibrosis) in people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). Researchers compared scans from 26 scleroderma patients to scans from people without the disease over three years. The goal was to see if this technology could provide a better, more consistent way to track the progression of skin fibrosis than current manual methods.
