NCT00966173

Brief Summary

This is an international, multicenter, prospective, non controlled, non randomized, clinical study to collect electrical impedance data of potentially malignant pigmented nevi and histological diagnoses (International Melanoma Algorithm Training Study \[IMATS\]). The study objective is to collect data for training and optimization of an algorithm that can classify skin lesions using electrical impedance, i.e., to identify malignant melanomas.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Outcome measure not applicable. This is an algorithm training study.

    Q1 2010

Interventions

Following enrollment, patients will undergo measurements with SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer. Electrical impedance of the skin will be measured with a microinvasive spiked probe.
