Imaging of skin birefringence for human scar assessment using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography aided by vascular masking

We demonstrate the in vivo assessment of human scars by parametric imaging of birefringence using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Such in vivo assessment is subject to artifacts in the detected birefringence caused by scattering from blood vessels. To reduce these artif...
