Abstract:
In recent years, the breakthroughs in optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology have moved from the tissue into the subcellular structure, and OCT imaging technologies represented by dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) and line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) have become more and more widely used in the field of dermatological research, and now full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT), which has a higher cellular resolution than LC-OCT, has also achieved significant results in the assessment of disease conditions and therapeutic prognosis by virtue of its advantages. OCT is also used in conjunction with conventional skin imaging to provide a more comprehensive picture of the skin lesion by collecting different dimensions of imaging information. This article mainly introduces D-OCT, LC-OCT and FF-OCT, which are widely used in scientific research and clinical practice, summarises the use and significance of OCT in different categories of skin diseases, and puts forward the thinking of OCT in the future development.
