Use of optical coherence tomography images to differentiate between normal skin, skin lesions, and melanoma: A pilot study

Optical coherence tomography is a technique used extensively in ophthalmology to diagnose several ocular diseases. It is being used in dermatology to diagnose skin conditions. We are developing a technique termed Vibrational Optical Coherence (VOCT) tomography to noninvasively image (OCT) and measure the physical properties of tissue components using Vibrational Analysis (VOCT) in biopsies of skin lesions.
