Guide to Optical Coherence Tomography Interpretation

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a diagnostic technique that was introduced into clinical practice in 1997. The information about retinal abnormalities that OCT provides has made this new tomographic technique increasingly useful for diagnostic purposes. This short handbook, supplemented by simple illustrations, attempts to describe a logical procedure for image intrepretation, through the application of the well-known Cartesian approach consisting of analysis followed by synthesis.

Optical Coherence Tomography

This richly illustrated, comprehensive guide will enable the reader to identify anatomy and ophthalmic disease as illustrated on optical coherence tomography (OCT). It is the most up-to-date atlas of OCT images, many of which have been obtained with the newer OCT technologies that offer excellent image quality and definition at a microscopic level. All of the major disease areas in ophthalmology are covered, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, uveitis, glaucoma, retinal vascular disease, and genetic abnormalities, and further hot topics are also considered. The chapters are written by leading international ophthalmologists from famous academic centers, and the numerous high-quality OCT images ensure that the reader will easily be able to follow the key issues. This book, with its clinical emphasis, will have wide appeal for residents, fellows, and experienced practitioners in ophthalmology, as well as optometrists and medical students and graduates.​
