Differentiating solar lentigines from post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation with hyperspectral imaging: A pilot study

Compared with solar lentigines, PIH spots displayed higher haemoglobin content and Δa* values and lower Δb* values. To strengthen these preliminary findings, further clinical studies need to be conducted on a larger cohort, aiming at confirming the benefit of HSI in accurately differentiating these two skin pigmentation disorders to support clinical assessment.

Abstract

Compared with solar lentigines, PIH spots displayed higher haemoglobin content and Δa* values and lower Δb* values. To strengthen these preliminary findings, further clinical studies need to be conducted on a larger cohort, aiming at confirming the benefit of HSI in accurately differentiating these two skin pigmentation disorders to support clinical assessment.
