Background: Optical coherence tomography uses advanced photonics and fiber optics to obtain high-resolution cross-sectional images and tissue characterization in real time.
Objective: The objective was to correlate measurements of the depth of basal cell carcinomas obtained by optical coherence tomography and standard histopathologic examinations.
Methods: Twenty previously scanned optical coherence tomography images of histopathologically confirmed basal cell carcinoma were reviewed.
Background: Although much decreased in prevalence, scurvy still exists in industrialized societies. Few recent large studies have examined its pathogenesis, signs, and symptoms.
Methods: After we diagnosed scurvy in a 77-year-old female patient in 2003, we conducted a retrospective records review to identify patients with scurvy treated between 1976 and 2002 at Mayo Clinic (Scottsdale, Arizona; Rochester, Minnesota; or Jacksonville, Florida).
Background: Optical coherence tomography combines principles of ultrasonography and optical interferometry to provide real-time cross-sectional images of subsurface microstructure of tissue in vivo.
Objective: The purpose of this pilot study was to define and characterize basal cell carcinoma by using optical coherence tomography.
Methods: Twenty-three patients with 49 lesions clinically suggestive of superficial basal cell carcinoma were recruited.
