  Purpose

The purpose of this research study is to develop new methods of looking at the human skin by using several devices. Each device has its own method of taking images of the skin. The data from these devices will be compared and analyzed.


Condition Intervention
Healthy
 Device: diagnostic imaging

Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Non-invasive Imaging Modalities for Assessment of Normal and Lesional Skin

Detailed Description:

The devices being studied are:

  1. Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI): LSI provides information about relative blood flow in a tissue. In skin it can be used to determine what areas have more blood flow and whether a particular intervention or treatment affects blood flow.
  2. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Doppler Tomography (ODT): OCT and ODT can provide pictures of blood vessels in an area of the body and can also tell how fast blood is flowing in that area.
  3. Photon Migration Spectroscopy (PMS): PMS can provide information about the amount of blood, oxygen, fat and water is in a tissue.
  4. Multi-Spectral Imaging (MI): MI allows operators to get a 3 dimensional image of structures within the skin but under the skin surface. This might help with diagnosis.
  5. Multiphoton Microscopy (MPM) MPM also allows imaging of structures within the skin but under the surface.
  6. Surface Enhanced Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (SERRS): SERRS can be used to determine the chemical components of structures within tissue.
