Non-invasive Imaging Modalities for Assessment of Normal and Lesional Skin
The purpose of this research is to develop non-invasive imaging modalities for assessment of
skin. This is a pilot study which will use multiple imaging modalities to collect
information on normal and lesional skin. The researchers understand that the purpose of this
study is not to evaluate any particular treatment and an investigation of a new therapeutic
intervention would require an additional protocol. Skin conditions to be studied include
vascular lesions, pigmentary disorders, inflammatory conditions and neoplasms.

Normal and lesional skin will be assessed by the following imaging modalities:
1. Laser Speckle Imaging can provide 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 and Optical Doppler Tomography 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 can provide information about the amount of blood,
oxygen, fat and water is in a tissue.
4. Multi-Spectral Imaging can provide a 3 dimensional image of structures within the skin.
5. Multiphoton Microscopy can provide images of structures of the skin.
