TL;DR: Dynamic OCT (D-OCT) based on speckle variance OCT is of special interest as it allows the in vivo evaluation of blood vessels and their distribution within specific lesions, providing additional functional information and consequently greater density of data.

TL;DR: Since its introduction in dermatology in the late 1990s optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been used to study many skin diseases, in particular non-melanoma skin cancer and it s precursors, and a number of smaller observational studies have been published.

TL;DR: The potential of D-OCT as a diagnostic tool in dermatology is examined and the ability to visualize and measure vessel morphology providing a new insight into healthy, inflammatory and neoplastic skin lesions such as malignant melanoma is examined.

TL;DR: OCT can detect subclinical residual NMSC lesions after MAL-PDT treatment and may therefore be an accurate tool for early detection of residual lesional tissue.

TL;DR: D-OCT was able to reliably image and identify changes in the skin vasculature consistent with the induced physiological blood flow changes and these basic findings support the use of D-O CT imaging for in vivo microcirculation imaging of the skin.
