简要总结
The purpose of the study was to investigate if reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) could be used in combination to investigate the morphology of pilosebaceous units and acne lesions in healthy subjects and in acne patients.Furthermore, to investigate contrast effects, biodistribution and selective photothermolysis provided by gold microparticles and diode laser pulses, using RCM, OCT and histology.
