Characterization of skin Port‐Wine Stain and Hemangioma vascular lesions using Doppler OCT

Port‐Wine Stains (PWS) are vascular malformations of the dermis, whereas hemangiomas are vascular tumors usually present at birth. Early non‐invasive diagnosis of the vascular lesion would greatly increase treatment efficiency. We propose to use optical coherence tomography (OCT), a morphological imaging technique, coupled with functional blood‐flow Doppler modality.
