Advances in Skin Cancer Detection: New Dual-mode Optical Imaging System May Improve Diagnosis

A compact, noninvasive imaging system combining line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) and confocal Raman microspectroscopy may improve how doctors diagnose and classify skin cancer and monitor treatment responses. LC-OCT captures high-resolution images of skin tissue at the cellular level, and confocal Raman microspectroscopy analyzes the chemical makeup of specific areas identified in those images. […]
