Dermoscopy Augmented Histology Trial, a Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Herlev Hospital
Summary
Pathologists provide the current gold standard in skin lesion diagnostics, most often primarily based on the interpretation of histological slides. Still, it has been suggested that pathologists' diagnostic accuracy and confidence could be improved if they gained access to additional clinical information and in-vivo clinical and dermoscopic images of melanocytic tumors. This study examines the effect of digital training for pathologists in interpreting dermoscopic and clinical skin tumor images. This study aims to evaluate the impact of dermoscopy training on pathologists' assessment of melanoma-suspected skin lesions. Data collection of DAHT cases: Department of plastic surgery, Herlev hospital, year 2020-2021, DAHT platform: Made in 2021-2023 by Melatech, Consensus agreement: Four dermatopathologists assess all DAHT cases, year 2023-2024 Enrollment of pathologists: Randomization and assessment DAHT cases, year 2026.
Official title: Correlation Between Online Case-based Training of Pathologists in Dermoscopic Images and Diagnostic Accuracy in Histopathological Interpretation of Skin Lesions Suspicious of Melanoma

DermLoop Learn
DermLoop Learn is a digital educational platform with case training on a library of 18,000+ benign and malignant skin lesions, educational material on the correlation between dermoscopy and histology, as well as written learning modules for the most common skin lesion diagnoses. The educational platform will give the user feedback on the image-based case training in dermoscopic diagnostic accuracy and adjust the cases depending on the user's progression.
