Optical Coherence Tomography in Age-Related Macular Degeneration


Book Description

Rapid or even dramatic progress has been made in the field of AMD over recent years, leading to a constant revision of basic concepts. A wide range of fundus imaging modalities are now available, and this book explains the respective value of each technique. The information provided by OCT is presented logically by comparison with plain films, autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, or indocyanine green angiography. Meticulous biomicroscopic examination of macular changes and the essential value of fluorescein angiography for the detection of anatomical alterations of the macula and for precise evaluation of lesions and their course by indocyanine green angiography have naturally led the author Gabriel Coscas to analyze the new data provided by OCT.




High Resolution Imaging in Microscopy and Ophthalmology


Book Description

This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the application of the newest laser and microscope/ophthalmoscope technology in the field of high resolution imaging in microscopy and ophthalmology. Starting by describing High-Resolution 3D Light Microscopy with STED and RESOLFT, the book goes on to cover retinal and anterior segment imaging and image-guided treatment and also discusses the development of adaptive optics in vision science and ophthalmology. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the reader will learn about the latest developments and most up to date technology in the field and how these translate to a medical setting. High Resolution Imaging in Microscopy and Ophthalmology – New Frontiers in Biomedical Optics has been written by leading experts in the field and offers insights on engineering, biology, and medicine, thus being a valuable addition for scientists, engineers, and clinicians with technical and medical interest who would like to understand the equipment, the applications and the medical/biological background. Lastly, this book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Gerhard Zinser, co-founder of Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, a scientist, a husband, a brother, a colleague, and a friend.




Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)


Book Description

Age-related macular degeneration is the most important cause of visual impairment in the elderly. The non-exudative or dry form progresses slowly, the exudative or wet form rapidly (within weeks or months). Refer a patient with suspected exudative form of the disease without delay for investigations and treatment. Also consider the significance of the disease in the patients' daily life.

Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography


Book Description

"The recent introduction of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has remarkably expanded our knowledge of different retinal, chorioretinal, and optic disc disorders. OCTA is nowadays often introduced as a routine exam in clinical practice, granting the opportunity to non-invasively investigate retinal and choroidal circulation. In this book, many major experts in posterior eye imaging share their experiences and their latest images and ideas about OCTA"--




Optical Coherence Tomography


Book Description

Because of its many advantages optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized the way in which retinal diseases are screened and managed and how treatments are monitored. In this volume the latest developments and findings are presented by experts in their respective fields. After a short introduction covering the available equipment and the basic techniques, the imaging features of various pathological findings in retinal diseases are presented. The topics cover the outer layers including new modalities for choroid imaging, out-layer diseases such as the various types of macular degeneration, retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and vascular occlusion, and retina and vitreous interface pathologies. The final chapters are dedicated to the practicality of using OCT for the pre- and postsurgical evaluation of the posterior segment and for the differential diagnosis of vitreoretinal diseases as well as in the management of patients with retinal and neuro-ophthalmological diseases. Making the essentials of the recently held ESASO course on OCT available in one volume, this publication is a must-read for experienced as well as trainee ophthalmologists who need to use OCT in their daily practice.

Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases


Book Description

"Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Fourth Edition covers a range of subjects, from principles and operation techniques to clinical interpretation and the latest innovations in OCT. This book is an essential text for imaging technology. OCT now occupies a dominant role as a diagnostic tool for retinal conditions and glaucoma. At the same time, the technology continues to show potential for emerging clinical and research applications across all the ophthalmological subspecialties. To reflect these rapid advances, this new edition of Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases features a complete and thorough revision of the existing text as well as the addition of cutting-edge content to bring this classic resource completely up to date"--




Optical Coherence Tomography


Book Description

Optical Coherence Tomography represents the ultimate noninvasive ocular imaging technique although being in the field for over two-decades. This book encompasses both medical and technical developments and recent achievements. Here, the authors cover the field of application from the anterior to the posterior ocular segments (Part I) and present a comprehensive review on the development of OCT. Important developments towards clinical applications are covered in Part II, ranging from the adaptive optics to the integration on a slit-lamp, and passing through new structural and functional information extraction from OCT data. The book is intended to be informative, coherent and comprehensive for both the medical and technical communities and aims at easing the communication between the two fields and bridging the gap between the two scientific communities.




Atlas Optical Coherence Tomography of Macular Diseases and Glaucoma


Book Description

The fourth edition of this atlas has been completely updated to provide the latest thinking and technology developments in the use of OCT with macular diseases and glaucoma. Beginning with an introduction to OCT, the following section discusses its use with a range of conditions and disorders associated with macular diseases such as macular hole, foveal haemorrhage and retinal trauma. The final section examines the use of OCT for diagnosis and management of glaucoma. This new edition features more than 1300 illustrations including fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography and OCT images. Brief case studies are described and a new chapter on multimodal imaging has been included in this new edition. The bestselling previous edition published in 2010.
