Confocal Reflectance Microscopy of Shave-Biopsy Sites on Skin in Vivo

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new instrument that shines light and takes digital
pictures of skin. The goal is to develop a technique that may enable fast and accurate
detection of skin disorders and cancers for future clinical diagnosis and surgical use.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients undergoing shave-biopsy on an anatomical site that is readily accessible to
the VivaScope 1500 (for example, chest, back, legs, arms, cheek, forehead).

- The additional 110 patients for this amendment will be imaged with the newly developed
Vivascope 3000 handheld confocal microscope.

- Ability to sign informed consent.

- Age ≥ 18 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Shave-biopsy located on a site that is not amenable to confocal imaging (for example,
adjacent to the nose, ears or eyes, fingers, toes).

- Inability to give informed consent.

- Known hypersensitivity to adhesive rings.

- Inability to tolerate imaging procedure (i. e., remain relatively still for multiple
short durations of 3-4 minutes).
