Scattering coefficients of human skin in vivo with and without vitiligo were measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT). The experimental results show that there exist significant difference between the scattering coefficient of the epidermis of in vivo human skin with and without vitiligo disease. The results may be helpful for quantitatively diagnosing or evaluating the treatment of the disease.
