Skin imaging technology assisted evaluation of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of Actinic Keratosis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In recent years, skin imaging technology has shown significant application value in photodynamic therapy for Actinic keratosis. It plays an important role in the diagnosis and evaluation of diseases, monitoring during the treatment process, and evaluation after treatment. Skin imaging techniques such as dermatoscopy, optical coherence tomography, and reflective confocal microscopy can provide high-resolution skin images to assist in early diagnosis and assessment of the condition. During photodynamic therapy, real-time monitoring of changes in skin lesions and potential adverse reactions can help doctors adjust treatment parameters to ensure treatment effectiveness. Evaluate the regression of skin lesions after treatment, assess treatment effectiveness, monitor the recurrence of skin lesions, and improve the long-term prognosis of patients. Future research needs further optimize technology, combining multimodal imaging technology and artificial intelligence technology to improve the popularity of equipment and the convenience of operation, in order to provide more effective treatment plans for more patients.
