A comprehensive and user-friendly guide on leveraging OCT for the
management of glaucoma Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a
noninvasive diagnostic imaging modality that enables
ophthalmologists to visualize different layers of the optic nerve
and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) with astounding detail. Today,
OCT is an instrumental tool for screening, diagnosing, and tracking
the progression of glaucoma in patients. Optical Coherence
Tomography in Glaucoma by renowned glaucoma specialist Jullia A.
Rosdahl and esteemed contributors is a one-stop, unique resource
that summarizes the clinical utility of this imaging technology,
from basics to advanced analyses. The book features 14 chapters,
starting with introductory chapters that discuss development of OCT
and its applications for visualizing the optic nerve and macula. In
chapter 5, case studies illustrate OCT imaging of the optic nerve,
RNFL, and macula in all stages of glaucoma, from patients at risk
to those with mild, moderate, and severe diseases. The next
chapters cover the intrinsic relationship between optic nerve
structure and function, the use of structure-function maps, and
examples of their relationship, followed by a comparison of
commonly used devices and a chapter on artifacts. Anterior segment
OCT is covered next, followed by chapters covering special
considerations in pediatric glaucomas and in patients with high
refractive errors. The final chapters cover innovations in OCT on
the horizon including OCT angiography, swept-source OCT, and
artificial intelligence. Key Highlights Illustrative case examples
provide firsthand clinical insights on how OCT can be leveraged to
inform glaucoma treatment. In-depth guidance on recognizing and
managing artifacts including case examples and key technical steps
to help prevent their occurrence. Pearls on the use of OCT for less
common patient scenarios such as pediatric glaucomas and high
refractive errors. Future OCT directions including angiography,
swept-source, and the use of artificial intelligence. This
practical resource is essential reading for ophthalmology trainees
and ophthalmologists new to using OCT for glaucoma. The pearls,
examples, and novel topics in this book will also help experienced
clinicians deepen their knowledge and increase confidence using OCT
in daily practice. This book includes complimentary access to a
digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
