Imaging Skin Cancer With Polarized Light

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Relatively inexpensive, commercially available components are used to image skin cancer using polarized light. The resultant images are easily resolved into separate red, green and blue images. The polarization-resolved images eliminate glare and improve the resolution of subsurface skin structures. The polarization photography set-up can be used to guide the radiation oncologist in decisions such as treatment margin delineation.
