To the Editor: Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-invasive technique for diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) could potentially replace standard biopsy, thereby, enabling physicians to diagnose and initiate treatment during the same consultation.1,2 The ability of OCT assessors to discriminate between BCC and non-BCC, and between BCC subtypes (superficial BCC vs non-superficial BCC) must be high. However, the discriminative ability of assessors varies due to differences in experience level.
