Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging now plays an important role in the management of macular and retinal diseases. In addition to the many advantages of this noninvasive imaging modality, limitations and pitfalls should be taken into consideration. The aim of this review is to discuss several possible sources of error in the conduct and interpretation of OCT imaging. Ultimately, this article should add to a meaningful and focused use in clinical practice.

Keywords: Artifacts; Diagnosis; Limitations; Macular disease; Retinal diseases.
