Abstract
Scars usually do not show strong contrast under standard skin examination by using dermoscopes. We show that Mueller matrix polarimetry can provide strong contrast for in vivo scar imaging. Scars usually develop after skin injury when the body repairs the damaged tissue. They are causing multiple distresses such as movement restrictions, pain, itchiness, and the psychological impact of the associated cosmetic disfigurement. Scar treatment has significant economic impact as well. Mueller matrix polarimetry with integrated autofocus and automatic data registration can potentially improve the scar assessment by the dermatologists and help to objectify the evaluation of the treatment outcome.
