Time Perspective: Prospective
Investigate the ability of the fiber-optic probe to identify lesions of melanoma and severe/high-grade dysplasia
To correct for skin color effect and heterogeneity, the readings of the pigmented lesion will be normalized by the readings taken from the corresponding normal skin around the lesion.
