Summary

This study is testing whether multiple non-invasive imaging techniques can effectively capture detailed information about both healthy skin and skin lesions. Researchers will use these imaging tools on adults and children aged 7 and older to gather data on various skin conditions, including pigmented lesions, vascular issues, and inflammation. The goal is to develop better imaging methods for assessing skin without needing to cut into it, potentially paving the way for less invasive diagnosis in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
non-invasive skin imaging modalities
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better, non-invasive ways to assess skin conditions, potentially reducing the need for biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an early pilot study focused on data collection, not treatment. The imaging methods may not prove accurate or useful for diagnosis.
