Fast Track Diagnosis of Malignant Melanoma by Two Advanced Imaging Technologies and Tumour Tapestripping of RNA and Lipids
In this clinical feasibility study the investigators will test and compare two advanced optical imaging technologies, lipid and RNA tape stripping with regards to diagnostic accuracies for fast bedside diagnosis of pigmented skin tumours.
This original clinical research project utilizes cutting-edge medical imaging technologies for diagnosis of pigmented skin tumours, combined for the first time in Denmark, with molecular RNA and lipid analysis of superficial tumours cells. The scanning technologies are reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), which is a microscope applied directly to the skin surface, and photoacoustic imaging, also termed multispectral optoacoustic imaging (MSOT), which is an imaging technology actually listening to the skin for immediate bedside diagnosis of pigmented skin tumors. The hypothesis is that treatment guided by diagnostic bedside skin scanning, combined with tumour tape-stripping and RNA and lipid analysis can increase diagnostic accuracy compared to visual inspection of the skin tumour and thus decrease time delay from diagnosis to efficient treatment
