Prospective, single-arm, cross-sectional, study to establish the effectiveness of MIAA to detect melanoma in pigmented lesions, compared to gold standard histological determination.
Skin Analytics Limited have developed an algorithm (MIAA) which reviews photographs of pigmented lesions to determine whether melanoma is likely to be present. This study aims to establish how well MIAA determines the presence or absence of melanoma, compared to a biopsy.
Pigmented lesions that a dermatologist has decided to biopsy, and are suitable for photographing, will be photographed up to five times in a single visit. Three different camera will be used, and two different dermoscopic lens attachments will be used on smartphone cameras. Images will be analysed by MIAA and the results compared to the biopsy result. Clinicians, patients and the statistical analysis team will be blinded to the result of MIAA.
At least 65 pigmented lesions positive for melanoma (as determined by biopsy) are required, which is predicted to mean 1250 patients will be recruited.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| All patients | Experimental | Each patient will have any pigmented lesions (PLs) which are due to be biopsied, two PLs not due for biopsy and one patch of healthy skin photographed. Each will be photographed using three cameras: A standard DSLR and two smartphones with a dermoscopic lens attachment. Photographic images will be analysed by Melanoma Image Analysis Algorithm (MIAA) |

| Melanoma Image Analysis Algorithm (MIAA) | Device | The images will be analysed by MIAA (Melanoma Image Analysis Algorithm). The MIAA result for PLs that are biopsied will be compared to the diagnosis made from the biopsy. The MIAA result for PLs not biopsied will be compared to clinician diagnosis. |

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
• Any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participants at risk because of participation in the study, or may influence the result of the study, or the participant's ability to participate in the study.
