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.
To establish a glossary of terms for RCM evaluation of melanocytic lesions.
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 Reviewers could utilize published descriptors or contribute unpublished terminology to describe lesion attributes.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.
We present a glossary with descriptors of image quality, normal skin morphology, lesion architecture, and cellular details for RCM evaluation of melanocytic lesions.
Usefulness of the glossary in RCM diagnosis of melanocytic lesions needs to be assessed.
Standardization of terminology is important toward implementation of RCM in the clinical setting.
反射式共聚焦显微镜(RCM)用于体内皮肤成像已有10多年。然而,迄今为止尚未发布标准的RCM术语。
建立用于黑素细胞性病变RCM评估的术语表。
向杰出的RCM研究人员展示黑素细胞性病变的RCM图像。审阅者评估RCM图像的图像质量、病变结构和细胞细节。审阅者可以使用已发表描述词或提供未发表的术语来描述病变特征。召开了一次在线会议以达成共识,整合并定义现有和新的RCM描述性术语。
我们提供了一个术语表,其中包含用于黑素细胞性病变RCM评估的图像质量、正常皮肤形态、病变结构和细胞细节的描述词。
术语表在黑素细胞性病变RCM诊断中的实用性有待评估。
术语标准化对于RCM在临床环境中的应用很重要。
