International Melanoma Algorithm Training Study - IMATS

This is an international, multicenter, prospective, non controlled, non randomized, clinical study to collect electrical impedance data of potentially malignant pigmented nevi and histological diagnoses (International Melanoma Algorithm Training Study [IMATS]). The study objective is to collect data for training and optimization of an algorithm that can classify skin lesions using electrical impedance, i.e., to identify malignant melanomas.
