Plastinated tissue evaluation by optical coherence tomography

Examination of skin affected by various pathological conditions is very difricult to perform using standard methods in the field of dermatology. In this study, human skin taken from bodies preserved in formalin 10% was dehydrated with acetone 100% by freeze substitution, and then plastinated with S10 technique. After plastination, the specimen of skin was analyzed using optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Time domain optical coherence tomography evaluation of the human skin

The aim of this study is to evaluate the normal skin by using the optical coherence tomography in Time Domain Mode. In conclusion, the optical coherence tomography could act as a valuable technique to be used for a better evaluation of the skin
