Anterior segment optical coherence tomography in corneal and conjunctival pathology
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS: Retrospective study which included patients examined using AS-OCT (HD-Cirrus) between June and December 2011. e following information was obtained: diagnosis, surgical procedure, AS-OCT image usefulness/quality, biomicroscopy photographs. Cases were classi ed into the following groups: 1. e AS-OCT provided a satisfactory image and provided additional information to that obtained by biomicroscopy that was useful for diagnosis/surgery 2. e OCT provided a satisfactory image but did not provide useful additional information for the diagnosis/surgery 3. e OCT did not provide a satisfactory image.

متن کاملAnterior Segment Tomography with the Cirrus Optical Coherence Tomography
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical acquisition method to examine biological tissues. In recent years, OCT has become an important imaging technology used in diagnosing and following macular pathologies. Further development enabled application of optical coherence tomography in evaluation of the integrity of the nerve fiber layer, optic nerve cupping, anterior chamber angle, or cor...
متن کاملEvaluation of lymphatic vessel dilatations by anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography: case report
BACKGROUND Conjunctival lymphangiectasia is a rare condition presumably caused by the obstruction of lymphatic channels or by an abnormal connection between conjunctival lymphatic and blood vessels. Diagnosis is based on clinical appearance and histology. We report a case of conjunctival lymphangiectasia in which anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to assist the diagnos...
متن کاملA prospective, comparative, observational study on optical coherence tomography of the anterior eye segment.
BACKGROUND We compared two commercially available spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices according to their capacity of imaging the anterior segment of the eye with the same detail and quality. METHODS A prospective, observational, single-visit study with individuals aged 18 years and older was conducted on two different OCT devices: the Spectralis™ OCT and the RTVue™ OCT....
