In vivo characterization of healthy human skin with a novel, non-invasive imaging technique: line-field confocal optical coherence tomography.

Line-field confocal-OCT provides non-invasive, real-time imaging of the skin in vivo with deep penetration and high resolution, enabling the visualization of single cells. The histology-like vertical view provides an easy way to recognize/measure different cutaneous structures/findings. LC-OCT appears as a promising technique for the examination of physiological/pathological skin.
