What is optical coherence tomography?

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging technique that uses low-power infrared laser light to image up to 2 mm beneath the skin surface. The clinician can obtain real-time images of the architecture of the skin without pretreatment or gels.
