Optical coherence tomography for dermatology

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique used in dermatology to create detailed, cross-sectional images of the skin. It uses light waves to penetrate the skin’s surface, allowing doctors to see the different layers and structures beneath without surgery or biopsies. OCT helps in diagnosing skin conditions, monitoring treatment progress, and assessing skin cancer. It provides real-time, high-resolution images that assist clinicians in making accurate, informed decisions about patient care efficiently and comfortably.
