Title: | Hand-held RCM/OCT probe for assessing skin burns |
Conference Title: | CLEO: Applications and Technology, 2014 |
Abstract: | A hand-held probe combining high-resolution reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) within the same optical path was developed and preliminarily tested for assessing skin burns. The preliminary results show that these two optical technologies have complementary capabilities that can help the clinician to more rapidly identify the dermal-epidermal junction, determine the integrity of the epidermal layer, and determine tissue perfusion status. © 2014 OSA. |
