Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical signal acquisition and processing method that captures micrometer-resolution three-dimensional images from within biological tissues. In recent years, OCT has become an important imaging technology used in diagnosing and following macular pathologies. It has complemented fluorescein angiography in many cases, especially in the diagnosis and manag...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography (OCT): A Review
This paper reviews the state of the art of optical coherence tomography (OCT), an interferometric imaging technique that provides cross-sectional views of the subsurface microstructure of biological tissue. Following a discussion of the basic theory of OCT, an overview of the issues involved in the design of the main components of OCT systems is presented. The review concludes by introducing ne...
متن کاملThe use of optical coherence tomography in neuro-ophthalmology.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the last decade, with the advances of optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology, different imaging protocols and analysis algorithms have been introduced to maximize the potential of this diagnostic tool in the evaluation of different eye diseases. This review aims to provide an update on these additional features, with respect to the management of a diverse range of ne...
متن کاملApplication of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Pediatric Ophthalmology
Purpose. Application of anterior segment optical coherence (AS-OCT) in pediatric ophthalmology. Methods. Retrospective clinical study case series of 26 eyes of 19 pediatric patients throughout a 21-month period, presenting anterior segment pathologies, were submitted to AS-OCT examination (OCT Visante, 1310 nm, Zeiss), noncontact technique, no sedation requirement. Results. AS-OCT images were o...
