The mechanical properties of the skin are an indication of its physiological condition. The properties can serve as potential information for dermatologists for diagnosis and qualitative assessment. Elastography is a medical imaging modality developed to extract the elastic properties of a tissue by application of an external force. Optical elastography is a technique of elastography which uses laser speckle tracking to study the elastic properties of several soft tissue including skin.
This work is aimed at developing an optical elastography setup that can study the elastic properties of skin. The setup includes an imaging system and a force-application system controlled …
