The Highlights from Experiences on Enhanced Depth Imaging-Optical Coherence Tomography

چکیده
The choroid is a highly pigmented and vascularized ocular tissue providing the vascular supply of the outer retinal layers. It may be affected by various retinal and choroidal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), age-related choroidal atrophy (ARCA), high/pathologic myopia, choroidal melanoma, and some vascular and inflammatory diseases of the choroid [1-6]. Thus, to evaluate the choroidal vasculature and thickness and also the choroidoscleral junction (CSJ) may provide important acquisitions concerning the pathogenesis and diagnosis of many chorioretinal diseases. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDIOCT) is a modified imaging technique which spectral-domain OCT device was placed close to the eye and so which the inverted image and increased depth obtained from this imaging mode provide better visualization of the choroid and CSJ. In the light of recent studies, we can state some highlights concerning choroidal thickness (ChT) and imaging with EDI-OCT:
