New eye on radiation: can a laser camera catch skin damage before It's visible?
NCT ID NCT04610645
First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive imaging technique called OCT can detect early, invisible skin damage caused by radiation therapy in 30 head and neck cancer patients. Researchers compared OCT images taken before and during treatment to see if they could spot changes before they become visible to the naked eye. The goal is to better understand and monitor radiation side effects, not to treat them.
