A novel infrared imaging tool to aid in the clinical detection of atypical pigmented lesions
and melanoma is developed. Goals include evaluation of the utility of high-resolution
infrared scanning of cutaneous lesions in the diagnosis of pigmented lesions and the
identification of high-risk lesions and melanomas.

This study uses a specific skin protocol to cool the skin and then measures the cutaneous
thermal recovery to uniquely identify lesions that may be cancerous. Using computer models,
the thermal signature is used to determine the size and shape of the lesions in question. In
particular, this study seeks to add quantification analysis of high resolution thermal images
of melanoma lesions to provide accurate early diagnostic capability with specific detail
regarding size, shape and depth of the lesions. This information will be compared to biopsy
results and surgical resection results.
