Optical Biopsy of Melanoma and Basal Cell Carcinoma Progression by Noncontact Photoacoustic and Optical Coherence Tomography: In vivo Multi-parametric Characterizing Tumor Microenvironment.

Measuring the structural and functional status of tumor microenvironment for malignant melanoma (MM) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is of profound significance in understanding dermatological condition for biopsy. However, conventional optical imaging techniques are limited to visualize superficial skin features and parameter information is deficient to depict pathophysiology correlations of skin ...
