2021 international consensus statement on optical coherence tomography for basal cell carcinoma: image characteristics, terminology and educational needs

Despite the widespread use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for imaging of keratinocyte carcinoma, we lack an expert consensus on the characteristic OCT features of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), an internationally vetted set of OCT terms to describe various BCC subtypes, and an educational needs assessment.
