Imaging of periocular basal cell carcinoma using en face optical coherence tomography: a pilot study

Abstract

En face OCT imaging has the potential to identify tumour tissue from healthy tissue. It also showed correlation with corresponding histopathologic findings. Non-contact OCT imaging of the skin is a non-invasive and convenient method and can be useful for demarcating BCCs on the face and eyelids. Future larger studies on in vivo BCCs using en face ultra-high-resolution OCT should provide information on subtyping BCCs.
