Use of Digitally Stained Multimodal Confocal Mosaic Images to Screen for Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
Description: In this retrospective study using 133 digitally stained confocal mosaics from 64 Mohs tissue excisions, the average respective sensitivities and specificities for detecting nonmelanoma skin cancer among 3 physicians were 90% and 79% prior to training and 99% and 93% after training. Digitally staining confocal images reduced but did not eliminate the retraining necessary to allow Mohs surgeons to detect nonmelanoma skin cancer with high sensitivity and specificity.
