In Vivo Reflectance Confocal Microscopy: Emerging Role in Noninvasive Diagnosis and Monitoring of Eczematous Dermatoses

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...

In Vivo Reflectance Confocal Microscopy in China

Reflectance confocal microscopy for noninvasive monitoring of therapy and detection of subclinical actinic keratoses.

BACKGROUND Actinic keratoses (AK) represent cutaneous carcinoma in situ and have previously been evaluated by reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). Treatment of AK with imiquimod (IMIQ) 5% cream has been shown to 'highlight' subclinical lesions. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test the applicability of RCM for noninvasive monitoring of actinic field cancerization and detection of subc...

role of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus

cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...

Confocal reflectance microscopy in dermatology: promise and reality of non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring.

In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) constitutes a novel non-invasive imaging method that enables visualization of cells and structures in living skin in real time with resolution close to histological analysis. RCM has been successfully implemented in the assessment of benign and malignant lesions. It also enables monitoring dynamic changes in the skin over time and in response to dif...
