Line‐field confocal optical coherence tomography of basal cell carcinoma: A retrospective study on diagnostic performance

The accuracy of BCC diagnosis can be increased by at least 12% with the use of LC-OCT compared to clinical and dermoscopic examinations alone, both in terms of BCC differentiation from clinical/dermoscopic imitators and in terms of BCC-subtype discrimination. A diagnostic algorithm based on significant features for BCC diagnosis is proposed, for which further validation is required.
