Infantile Hemangiomas Clinical Trial
Official title:
Ontogeny and Quantitative Multimodal Skin Imaging of Infantile Hemangiomas
A combined set of quantitative skin imaging methods will quantitatively describe the natural ontogeny and the response to standard treatments over time in patients with infantile hemangiomas.

Primary | Hemangioma height | IH height and volume will be obtained from surface scans with the Artec scanner with a 0.5 mm resolution, 0.1 mm accuracy, at 60 cm. Three dimensional scans will be created with the Artec Studio software and features quantified with the three dimensional software. Soft tissue landmarks will create the region of interest for all evaluations. Height and volume will be calculated for the infantile hemangioma versus the control. | up to 5 years | No |
Primary | Static and Dynamic Temperature | Temperature information will be acquired with a thermal imaging camera with analysis software. The thermal features of the surrounding uninvolved control skin are removed by applying thresholds. Static infrared thermography captures the steady-state condition and spatial distribution. Dynamic infrared thermography applies a stress (cooling) to stimulate the thermal response within the tissue. | up to 5 years | No |
Primary | Skin color and lightness | High resolution color Images will be taken taken with a digital camera, Micro 60 mm lens with a wireless close up flash system at 30cm and perpendicular to the site. The images are color corrected and processed into three distinct images : red color, blue-yellow color, and lightness (white - back). Color and thermal images are co-registered and analyzed with customized software. The system creates quantitative outputs and maps for visualization of IH regions of thermal and color activity. Threshold values for the lightness, red color, blue color and thermal images are selected based upon histogram distributions of the uninvolved skin as the values above the mean and multiple standard deviations The pixels beyond the thresholds are used to quantify and map the features due to the hemangioma itself. |
up to 5 years | No |
Secondary | Biomechanical properties | Tissue mechanical properties (i.e., elasticity, elastic deformation, laxity, stiffness, etc.) will be measured to assess tissue deformability. The instrument measures biomechanical properties of the skin by applying a negative pressure, in the range between 20 and 500 mbar. These properies are compared to an uninvolved contralateral control site. | up to 5 years | No |
