Effect of Localized Mechanical Indentation on Skin Water Content Evaluated Using OCT by Abhijit A. Gurjarpadhye, William C. Vogt, Yajing Liu, Christopher G. Rylander

“…We hypothesize that localized mechanical compression reduces scattering by expulsing unbound water from the dermal collagen matrix, increasing protein concentration and decreasing the number of index mismatch interfaces between tissue constituents. A swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system was used to assess changes in thickness and group refractive index in ex vivo porcine skin, as well as changes in signal intensity profile when imaging in vivo human skin. …”
