In Vivo Diagnosis of Skin Cancer through Reflectance Confocal Microscopy
In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is an FDA approved non-invasive optical imaging technique that provides high-resolution cellular images of the skin. This new technology assists the dermatologist in the early diagnosis of skin cancers, thereby reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies performed and improving the malignant to benign biopsy ratio. In 2016, this new technology was a...
متن کاملUsing Reflectance Confocal Microscopy in Skin Cancer Diagnosis.
Biopsy and histologic evaluation have been the gold standard to diagnose skin tumors. Reflectance confocal microcopy (RCM) is a noninvasive, innovative diagnostic technique that enables visualization of different skin layers at an almost histologic resolution. RCM has been proven beneficial in management of various cutaneous lesions. This article highlights the clinical significance and future ...
متن کاملConfocal microscopy patterns in nonmelanoma skin cancer and clinical applications.
Reflectance confocal microscopy is currently the most promising noninvasive diagnostic tool for studying cutaneous structures between the stratum corneum and the superficial reticular dermis. This tool gives real-time images parallel to the skin surface; the microscopic resolution is similar to that of conventional histology. Numerous studies have identified the main confocal features of variou...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy for in vivo skin imaging.
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a novel noninvasive technique for "in vivo" examination of the skin. In a confocal microscope, near- infrared light from a diode laser is focused on a microscopic skin target. As this light passes between cellular structures having different refraction indexes, it is naturally reflected, and this reflected light is then captured and recomposed into a two...
متن کاملSegmentation of skin strata in reflectance confocal microscopy depth stacks
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a powerful tool for in-vivo examination of a variety of skin diseases. However, current use of RCM depends on qualitative examination by a human expert to look for specific features in the different strata of the skin. Developing approaches to quantify features in RCM imagery requires an automated understanding of what anatomical strata is present in a g...
