Background: In the last years, multiphoton laser tomography (MLT) has emerged as a promising tool for non-invasive diagnostics in dermatology and other medical specialties. The present work is dedicated to the question to what degree the measurement depth and the thickness of the epidermis influence the evaluation of dermal matrix composition and if recommendations for future measurement procedures can be given.
Methods: In a study group of 30 healthy volunteers aged 21-82 years multiphoton depth-resolved measurements of autofluorescence and second harmonics have been performed in order to evaluate the dermal matrix composition.
