 Confocal Microscopy: Integration in Clinical Practice Residents and Specialists Course | 19-20 April 2024 | Madrid, Spain

Course description
Reflectance Confocal Microscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique that enables obtaining precise information at subcellular level in real-time. In this course, we will describe the fundamental principles for confocal imaging of human skin in vivo, the major live microscopic features that characterize benign and malignant skin conditions, and its potential to monitor dynamic processes. In addition to, how to integrate this tool in clinical practice with real examples will be also discussed. After the course, attendees will understand the basics principles of in vivo and ex vivo confocal microscopy, identify features of common inflammatory conditions and tumors of benign and malignant nature and integrate this technology in routine clinical workflow.

Learning Objectives
1. Understand the fundamentals of in-vivo and ex-vivo confocal microscopy;
2. Identify confocal features of benign and malignant skin tumors;
3. Identify confocal features of inflammatory conditions and infections;
4. Integrate in-vivo confocal microscopy in common clinical situations;
5. Understand ex-vivo confocal microscopy in dermatology surgery including Mohs Surgery.

Faculty
Chairs: Salvador González
Speakers: Marco Ardigo; Reyes Gamo; Melissa Gill; Francesco Lacarrubba; Javiera PérezAnker
