Optical Coherence Tomography for Noninvasive Diagnosis and Subtyping of Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Prospective Cohort Study

Noninvasive diagnostic strategies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) enable detailed examination of skin tissue architecture and have potential for identification and subtyping of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). To evaluate the additional diagnostic value of OCT, a prospective cohort study was performed in 182 patients with 250 lesions suspected for non-melanoma skin premalignancies requiring a biopsy. Accuracy of BCC diagnosis and subtype...
