Optical coherence tomography in dermatology.

Abstract

OCT research in dermatology has undergone significant developments since its first application in 1997. The rising demand for non-invasive monitoring of skin disorders and treatment outcomes emphasize the need for further advances in the field of non-invasive imaging. Combining OCT with other technical modalities that enable quantitative measurements of e.g. blood flow or light reflectance in tissue may aid the usability of OCT in a clinical setting.
