Optical Tomographic Imaging of Infantile Hemangiomas
Completed
Conditions studied: Infantile Hemangioma
In brief
The investigators hypothesize that there are differences between infantile hemangiomas (IH) during the proliferating and involuting phases and in response to medical treatment that can be detected by optical tomography of these hemangiomas.
