Abstract
We demonstrate for the first time the maximum intensity projection (MIP) for OCT, on the analogy of the X-ray CT, where a spiral duct of sweat glands on human fingertip is observed very clearly. The MIP OCT is a quick 3D-image construction method suitable for dynamic analysis of mental-stress-induced sweating.
