Abstract
Methods In this ongoing study, 28 patients with a total of 34 primary, flat mucosal lesions of the upper aerodigestive tract (OADT) were prospectively examined using a timedomain, in vivo OCT (Niris®, Imalux Corporation, USA; lateral resolution 25 μm/axial resolution 15 μm) and the results were compared to the histopathological reports on subsequent tissue biopsies from the same areas. Additionally, an intraoral screening was performed on 52 healthy volunteers.
