Abstract

Nail fungal infection can lead to significant disability and predisposing diabetic patients to limb loose. Up to date, there is no method of diagnosising nail unit fungus quickly, accurately and non-invasively. In this study, imaging and diagnosing the nail unit fungus with OCT has been investigated. Preliminary in vivo studies demonstrate that OCT has a great potential to resolve a small amount of fungi which is extremly valuable for early detection and diagnosis of fungal infections.
