New eye on radiation: camera spots hidden skin damage early
NCT ID NCT04610645
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special imaging technique called OCT can detect skin damage from radiation therapy before it becomes visible. Researchers followed 30 head and neck cancer patients during their radiation treatment. The goal was to see if OCT could catch early warning signs of skin injury, which might help doctors prevent more serious side effects in the future.
