Diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography for early oral cancer detection: A systematic review
Optical coherence tomography shows promise as a non-invasive way to spot early oral cancers when they're most treatable.
This systematic review evaluates optical coherence tomography as a diagnostic tool for early oral cancer detection, finding promising accuracy metrics. It positions OCT as a potential non-invasive screening adjunct.
