Spectrally-encoded optical polarization imaging improves upon the demarcation of skin cancer such as keratinocytic carcinomas. When the clinician can outline the clinical boundary of each lesion, surgery and other treatments can be more efficient and effective. Optical images of the lesions are acquired at various wavelengths, then spectrally-encoded. Spectral-encoding of the images minimizes the impact of background pigmentation and vascularization so that the tumor can be accurately visualized."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Spectrally encoded optical polarization imaging for detecting skin cancer margins","description":"Many treatments of skin cancer need an accurate assessment of the margins of the tumor.
