TLDR
These optical techniques proved to be effective in the diagnosis of skin cancer, but further studies are needed in finding the appropriate method or combination of methods that can have wide clinical applications.Abstract:
Purpose
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the most investigated optical diagnostic techniques: optical coherence tomography, fluorescence spectrometry, reflectance spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, and confocal microscopy.read more

Subsurface Imaging of Living Skin with Optical Coherence Microscopy
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that an optical coherence microscope may have value as a diagnostic tool for cases in which visualization of subcellular details is not required.

Handheld photoacoustic microscopy to detect melanoma depth in vivo
TL;DR: In this paper, a handheld photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) system was developed to detect melanoma and determine tumor depth in nude mice in vivo compared to their previous PAM system for melanoma imaging.

The pilot study.
TL;DR: A randomized controlled experiment is designed to test whether access to affordable day care (in the form of subsidies, for example) would incentivize Saudi mothers to search actively for employment and to remain employed once they are hired.

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has developed rapidly since its first realisation in medicine and is currently an emerging technology in the diagnosis of skin disease as mentioned in this paper, where OCT is an interferometric technique that detects reflected and backscattered light from tissue.
MCML-Monte Carlo modeling of light transport in multi-layered tissues
TL;DR: A Monte Carlo model of steady-state light transport in multi-layered tissues (MCML) has been coded in ANSI Standard C; therefore, the program can be used on various computers and has been in the public domain since 1992.

Quantitative optical spectroscopy for tissue diagnosis
TL;DR: This review describes optical interactions pursued for biomedical applications (fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime, phosphorescence, and Raman from cells, cultures, and tissues) and provides a descriptive framework for light interaction based upon tissue absorption and scattering properties.
