Research and System Development on Functional 3D Optical Tomography for Skin Cell Imaging

NCT ID: NCT01557205

Last Updated: 2012-03-19

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Total Enrollment: 30 participants
• Study Classification: OBSERVATIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2012-03-31
• Study Completion Date: 2013-04-30

Brief Summary

The investigators will obtain human skin specimen (sized approximately 1 cm x 1 cm) for dermatological surgical patients in National Taiwan University Hospital, after informed consent was obtained. Human skin keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and melanocytes will be cultured from the human skin specimen. The three dimensional images of these cultured cells will be observed by a ultra-high resolution 3-dimensional optical coherence tomography.
