Will be measured by documenting the number of patients offered study participation and the number choosing to participate in the study
Time frame: 1.5 years
Patients overall experience
Collect a 3-question questionnaire to document patients experience.
Time frame: one office visit - immediately after imaging procedure
Determine LC-OCT imaging's impact on surgical workflow
Will be assessed by results of imaging assessment questionnaire given to surgeon
Time frame: To be filled out immediately after finishing Mohs procedure
Accuracy of LC-OCT findings
Will be evaluated by Comparing LC-OCT findings with frozen section histopathological results
Time frame: 1.5 years
Accuracy of LC-OCT in detectng location of tumor
will be evaluated by comparing the location of the LC-OCT reported margin positivity to the Mohs map
Time frame: 1.5 years
