Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables in vivo imaging of port wine stains (PWS) lesions. The knowledge of vascular structure and epidermal thickness (ET) of PWS may aid the objective diagnosis and optimal treatment. To obtain the structural parameters more rapidly and avoid user intervention, an automated algorithm of energy map is introduced based on intensity and edge information to extract the skin surface using dynamic programming method. Subsequently, an averaged A-scan analysis is per
