[Noninvasive diagnostic imaging in pediatric skin lesions]. Hautarzt. 2021 Jan 20;: Authors: Schuh S, Weins AB, Welzel J Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and reflectance confocal laser microscopy (RCM) allow noninvasive imaging diagnostics of the skin. Since the indication for a biopsy in children is generally made cautiously, OCT and KLM can be helpful in the clarification of pediatric skin lesions. In addition, biopsies only represent a snapshot of a small area of the skin, while noninvasive methods allow several locations to be examined over time, so that dynamic changes and the course of therapy can also be determined. In pediatric dermatology, these diagnostic methods are particularly suitable for the clarification of atypical pigment lesions, for infectious dermatoses such as scabies or tinea, and for the diagnosis of inflammatory and degenerative dermatoses.
