| Scientific title | Comparison of diagnostic information from spectrophotometric intracutaneous analysis and histopathology in melanoma and non-melanoma lesions: an observational study |
| Study objectives | The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic information given by the SIAscope (Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous Analysis [SIA]) applied to suspicious malignant melanomas by comparison with histopathological findings. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Regional Ethics Committee of Gothenburg (Regionala etikprövningsnämnden i Göteborg) approved on the 23/02/2004 (ref: 018-04) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Melanoma |
| Intervention | The included lesions were SIAscopically imaged and documented before excision and histopathological preparation. A specially developed preparatory and documentary procedure was undertaken to find the areas of interest in the histological sections thus obtaining accurate topographic comparisons to the SIAgraphs. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
1. SIAgraphs were evaluated for features indicating melanoma and the following were calculated: |
