SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUANTIFICATION OF PIGMENTED SKIN LESION USING OCT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for quantifying a pigmented lesion by using optical coherence tomography. The method comprises the following steps of: (a) irradiating light and receiving an interference signal generated by reflection of the light from first and second boundary surfaces of a pigmented lesion; and (b) calculating size information of the pigmented lesion by using phase information of the interference signal. According to the present invention, there is an advantage of allowing calculation of size information of a pigmented lesion by using an optical coherence tomography theory, by increasing a measurement range in an axial direction to which light is irradiated.
