Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of Raman Spectroscopy to identify microscopic infiltration extent of skin cancer beyond grossly visible tumor, using artificial intelligence methods of supervised and un-supervised machine learning algorithms, including pattern recognition, convolutional neural networks, k-means clustering and principal component analysis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Raman Spectroscopy
Raman Spectroscopy handheld probe (EmVision, FL, USA)
The probe is approximately the size of a pen or pencil. The handheld probe is connected to the laser source using a cable. The probe is placed in light contact with the skin. The features of the laser light after it bounces off the skin is collected. This measurement can allow us to see tissue characteristics. This is a single session that will take approximately 15 minutes.
Raman Spectroscopy laser source (Hubner Photonics Inc, CA, USA)
This light source will create the laser light that will pass through the cable and through the handheld probe onto the skin.
