This book is a practical guide to the everyday use of the revolutionary technique of non-invasive, dyeless OCT angiography imaging. Beginning with an overview of the principles and technology, and terminology, the next chapter discusses practical problems of OCT Angiography that may be encountered by clinicians. The following sections cover the use of the technique for the diagnosis and management of different ocular disorders, with a final chapter providing guidance on writing an OCT Angiography report. Presented in a step by step format, the book is highly illustrated with images obtained from Optovue's Avanti Widefield OCT hardware platform and Angiovue OCT angiography software. The book is authored by a highly experienced, internationally recognised team of experts led by Prof Bruno Lumbroso from Centro Italiano Macula in Rome. Key points Practical guide to the everyday use of OCT Angiography Covers use of the technique for diagnosing and managing many different ocular disorders Most images from Optovue's Avanti Widefield OCT hardware platform and Angiovue OCT angiography software Highly experienced, well-recognised author team led by Prof Bruno Lumbroso

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive technique for imaging the microvasculature of the retina and the choroid. The advent of OCTA has allowed ophthalmologists to identify new pathologies, recognise new syndromes, and organise disorders with new classifications. This atlas provides clinicians with state-of-the-art principles of clinical OCTA imaging, helping them interpret and understand the features of the angiographic images. Following the success of the first edition (9789351528999) published in 2015, this second edition has been fully revised, with all chapters rewritten and new topics added to provide the very latest advances in the field. New knowledge about existing diseases and new disorders are described in depth, and operating principles, clinical applications, and future developments are explained thoroughly by the pioneers of the technology. The first part of the atlas covers the basic principles of OCT angiography, methods and technology, image interpretation, vascular anatomy of the retina, and clinical applications. Part two provides a general update on current research into OCT angiography in various retinal, choroid and anterior chamber disorders. The third and final part of the book describes future clinical applications and implications of next generation devices. This new edition is an invaluable guide for ophthalmologists and trainees for use in everyday practice.

This book is a practical guide to the revolutionary technique of non-invasive, dyeless OCT angiography imaging. This new diagnostic tool complements, and in part replaces, fluorescein angiography. Beginning with an introduction to the principles and interpretation of OCT angiography, the book covers operating principles, recent advances, the future of OCT, and diagnosis of vascular retinopathies. The book describes how this new technology is used to study inner and outer retina disorders, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and to classify choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in a non-invasive manner, highlighting morphology, flow and depth. It also provides new technical and clinical information on the study of glaucoma. Presented in a step by step format, the book is highly illustrated with images obtained from Optovue's Avanti Widefield OCT hardware platform and Angiovue OCT angiography software. Key Points Practical guide to revolutionary technique of non-invasive, dyeless OCT angiography imaging Covers principles and interpretation, operating principles, recent advances, future of OCT and diagnosis of vascular retinopathies All images obtained from Optovue's Avanti Widefield OCT hardware platform and Angiovue OCT angiography software Highly experienced, well-recognised author team led by Prof Bruno Lumbroso

This handbook provides ophthalmologists and trainees with the latest advances in the rapidly developing field of OCT Angiography. Beginning with an overview of the technology and terminology, the next chapter explains how to perform an OCTA examination. The following sections describe the pathophysiology, clinical features, imaging and management techniques for different retinal disorders. Authored by an internationally recognised group of experts, led by Professor Bruno Lumbroso, the book is highly illustrated with cross sectional and 'en face' OCT images, drawings and tables. This text is invaluable reading for clinicians learning OCTA interpretation for routine everyday use and diagnostic retinal pathologies. Key points Presents latest advances in field of OCT Angiography Covers pathophysiology, clinical features, imaging and management techniques for different retinal disorders Highly illustrated with cross sectional and 'en face' OCT images, drawings and tables Internationally recognised author team led by renowned Professor Bruno Lumbroso

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye (eyeSmart). The technique is recognised worldwide as an essential device for diagnosis, assessment and follow up of retinal diseases and glaucoma. The third edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised to provide clinicians and trainees with the most recent advances in OCT imaging. New examination and diagnostic protocols are covered in depth and this edition includes a step by step guide to data interpretation. Divided into three sections, the book begins with discussion on interpretation of OCT images, including 'en face' and dyeless angiography. The second section covers lesions and diseases, and part three explains new syndromes and classifications. Highly illustrated with clinical images and tables, this practical reference has been written by renowned experts based in Italy. Key points Practical guide to recent advances in OCT imaging Fully revised, new edition covers new examination and diagnostic protocols, with step by step guide to data interpretation Internationally recognised, Italy-based author team Previous edition (9789351525318) published in 2014
