Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

  • * Inability to understand and/or carry out instructions
  • * Patients with a BCC lesion that requires excision. This would include relatively large lesions (\>2.5 cm diameter), lesions that penetrate deep into the skin beyond the depth of the OCT image capture, high risk lesions as defined by the American Academy of Dermatology as recurrent and sclerosing subtype BCC, or metastases.
  • * Patients with periocular BCCs which might expose the patient to risk of damage to eyes from the laser.
  • * BCCs on legs due to their tendency towards poor wound healing.
  • * Pregnancy
  • * Patients unable to follow-up for the full 12 months.
