Recent advances in ophthalmic molecular imaging

J Emanuel Ramos de Carvalho et al. Surv Ophthalmol. 2014 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The aim of molecular imaging techniques is the visualization of molecular processes and functional changes in living animals and human patients before morphological changes occur at the cellular and tissue level. Ophthalmic molecular imaging is still in its infancy and has mainly been used in small animals for pre-clinical research. The goal of most of these pre-clinical studies is their translation into ophthalmic molecular imaging techniques in clinical care. We discuss various molecular imaging techniques and their applications in ophthalmology.

Keywords: eye; magnetic resonance imaging; molecular imaging; multispectral imaging; ophthalmic imaging; ophthalmology; optical coherence tomography; optical imaging; scanning laser ophthalmoscope.
