Abstract
The optical properties of skin are of critical importance for the noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring of melanoma. In this work, we present an experimental model designed to investigate melanoma-related alterations in skin optical characteristics. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Speckle-imaging were employed to visualize and quantify structural and scattering changes associated with melanoma development. The proposed model provides a controlled framework for studying tumor progression and evaluating the sensitivity of optical diagnostic techniques. These findings contribute to the advancement of noninvasive imaging methods and may support the development of improved diagnostic tools for early melanoma detection.
