Line Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography ( <scp>LC</scp> ‐ <scp>OCT</scp> ) Features of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
LC-OCT identifies shared scarring signatures as well as distinct patterns among PCA subtypes, and it supports targeted biopsy site selection. Moreover, it provides a noninvasive tool for real-time assessment of disease activity that is complementary to trichoscopy and histopathology.
