Abstract

A combined LC-OCT and dermoscopy system is presented. The LC-OCT modality allows to obtain real-time in-depth cross-sectional and 3D images with an isotropic cellular resolution, providing a comprehensive view of the in-depth tridimensional morphology of the skin at a resolution similar to histology. The dermoscopy modality provides color images of the surface of the skin, serving as a guiding tool for LC-OCT, and complementing the in-depth cellular information of LC-OCT with a high-resolution view of the skin surface. The system has been applied to in vivo imaging of various skin lesions, including carcinomas and melanomas.
