Automatic measurement of epidermal thickness from optical coherence tomography images using a new algorithm


Background/purpose: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging system that enables in vivo epidermal thickness (ET) measurement. In order to use OCT in large-scale clinical studies, automatic algorithm detection of the dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) is needed. This may be difficult due to image noise from optical speckle, which requires specific image treatment procedures to reduce this. In the present work, a description of the position of the DEJ is given, and an algorithm for boundary detection is presented.


Methods: Twenty-nine images were taken from the skin of normal healthy ...
