Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Spectra-Scope

Experimental: Measurement using Spectra-Scope - Short pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation onto the skin lesion / measurement with Spectra-Scope


Treatment: Devices: Spectra-Scope
The Spectra-Scope consists of the light collection module and the spectral analysis module.

The light collection module is attached to the handpiece of short pulse Nd:YAG laser, and the analysis module is placed on the laser.

Each potential skin cancer site, which has previously been identified as requiring biopsy, should be assessed using five laser shots that last approximately 10 milliseconds per shot and measurement. The laser shots must be made before the scheduled biopsy.

All potentially cancerous lesions (or lesions that would usually undergo complete biopsy of the lesion or require follow up within three months) should be sampled. The Spectra-Scope will not provide a diagnosis at the time of sampling. Sites should record the spectra reported for each laser shot in the CRF.
