Excerpt

The diagnostic efficacy and workflow of retinal diseases has been largely improved by the development of optical coherence tomography (OCT). The availability of cross-sectional, high-resolution images is critical for the assessment of several features ranging from early subtle changes to late severe disruption of the anatomy of the retina. The widespread clinical use of OCT enhances the accurate diagnosis of different retinal and choroidal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, vascular occlusions, inflammatory diseases, hereditary diseases. OCT imaging further allows for accurate monitoring of disease progression and treatment efficacy, like anti-vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) therapy.
