RECENT INNOVATIONS IN NON-INVASIVE IMAGING TECHNIQUES IN DERMATOLOGY

Abstract

Recent advancements in non-invasive imaging technologies have revolutionized the field of dermatology by enabling accurate, real-time visualization of skin structures without the need for surgical intervention. These techniques, ranging from reflectance confocal microscopy to optical coherence tomography, provide clinicians with powerful tools for diagnosing, monitoring, and managing a wide array of dermatological conditions, including skin cancers, inflammatory diseases, and vascular abnormalities. The integration of artificial intelligence has further enhanced diagnostic precision and workflow efficiency. As patient demand for minimally invasive procedures grows, these innovations reshape dermatological practice by improving outcomes, reducing discomfort, and enabling early detection of skin pathologies (1).
