Tuning of a deformable image registration procedure for skin component mechanical properties assessment

Several studies report the mechanical properties of skin tissues but their values largely depend on the measurement method. Therefore, we investigated the feasibility of recognizing the cellular constituents mechanical properties of pigmented skin by Confocal Laser Scanner Microscopy (CLSM). With this purpose, an healthy volunteer was examined in three areas nearby a pigmented skin lesion in two configurations: deforming and non deforming the...
