背景:反射共聚焦显微镜(RCM)已用于体内皮肤成像超过10年。然而,迄今为止,尚未发布任何标准RCM术语。
目的:建立RCM评价黑素细胞病变的术语表。
方法:著名的RCM研究人员获得了黑素细胞病变的RCM图像。审阅者评估了RCM图像的图像质量,病变结构,和细胞细节。审阅者可以利用已发布的描述符或提供未发布的术语来描述病变属性。举行了一次在线会议,以达成共识,整合和定义现有和新的RCM描述性术语。
结果:我们提供了一个包含图像质量描述符的词汇表,正常皮肤形态,病变结构,和细胞细节,用于RCM评估黑素细胞病变。
结论:需要评估术语表在RCM诊断黑素细胞病变中的有用性。
结论:术语标准化对于在临床环境中实施RCM很重要。
BACKGROUND: Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) has been used for over 10 years for in vivo skin imaging. However, to date no standard RCM terminology has been published.
OBJECTIVE: To establish a glossary of terms for RCM evaluation of melanocytic lesions.
METHODS: Prominent RCM researchers were presented with RCM images of melanocytic lesions. Reviewers evaluated RCM images for image quality, lesion architecture, and cellular details. Reviewers could utilize published descriptors or contribute unpublished terminology to describe lesion attributes. An online meeting was conducted to reach
consensus that integrates and defines existing and new RCM descriptive terms.
RESULTS: We present a glossary with descriptors of image quality, normal skin morphology, lesion architecture, and cellular details for RCM evaluation of melanocytic lesions.
CONCLUSIONS: Usefulness of the glossary in RCM diagnosis of melanocytic lesions needs to be assessed.
CONCLUSIONS: Standardization of terminology is important toward implementation of RCM in the clinical setting.
