In this paper, we report a fully automatic method for the prediction of the treatment efficacy of photodynamic therapy during the clinical treatment in port-wine stains. Histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) features were extracted from optical coherence tomography images. Isolation forest (iForest) was used to build classifier based on these features, achieving a sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 91%. Our dataset consists of 336 PWS lesions of 121 patients. We aim to build a comprehensive computational model for the patients who respond positively to the photodynamic therapy, which could be used to sort and identify patients who respond poorly to photodynamic therapy before treatment and prevent them from unnecessary treatment.
