Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
author
Abstract:
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. Furthermore, OCT angiography shows optic nerve perfusion. Finally, artificial intelligence would be useful in diagnosing ophthalmic conditions.

Optical 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...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first reported in 1991 as a non-invasive, cross-sec‐ tional ocular imaging technology (Huang et al., 1991) and today is the most promising noncontact, high resolution tomographic and biomicroscopic imaging device in ophthalmology. It is a computerized instrument structured on the principle of low-coherence interferometry (Huang et al., 1991; Hrynchak & Sim...

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a functional extension of OCT that provides information on retinal and choroidal circulations without the need for dye injections. With the recent development of high-speed OCT systems and efficient algorithms, OCTA has become clinically feasible. In this review article, we discuss the technical principles of OCTA, including image processing an...
