Illuminating characteristic patterns of inflammatory dermatoses: A comprehensive dual-imaging approach using Optical coherence tomography and Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory skin diseases, such as psoriasis, atopic eczema, and contact dermatitis pose diagnostic challenges due to their diverse clinical presentations and the need for rapid and precise diagnostic assessment.

Objective

While recent studies described non-invasive imaging devices such as Optical coherence tomography and Line-field confocal OCT (LC-OCT) as possible techniques to enable real-time visualization of pathological features, a standardized analysis and validation has not yet been performed.

Methods

One hundred forty lesions from patients diagnosed with atopic eczema (57), psoriasis (50), and contact dermatitis (33) were imaged using OCT and LC-OCT. Statistical analysis was employed to assess the significance of their characteristic morphologic f
