How to read OCTs: 8 fundamental diseases - EyeGuru
View of the normal retina with OCT. The macular OCT can be used to evaluate the premacular vitreous, macula, and choroid. We’ll look at the OCT through a number of common diseases. Below, we’ve highlighted a few diseases with their common OCT findings: View of the retinal pathologies with OCT Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
3 Steps to Interpret OCTs - American Academy of Ophthalmology
Jun 11, 2023 · By practicing these three steps, you will be better able to accurately (and comfortably) use OCT to your clinical advantage! 1. Know what’s normal. Familiarize yourself with how a normal OCT looks. There should be nine layers of …
Take Macular OCT to a Whole New Layer - Review of Optometry
Feb 15, 2021 · For this article, we won’t address every conceivable diagnosis. Rather, we’ll focus on critically thinking about each layered zone on a macular OCT scan, review some examples of anomalies and recognize how those abnormalities appear on OCT relative to normal structure.
Normal Macular Thickness Measurements in Healthy Eyes Using …
Objective To report normal macular thickness measurements in healthy eyes using the latest commercially available optical coherence tomography (OCT) mapping software, version 3.0, from the Stratus OCT (OCT3).
Normal Macular Thickness Measurements Using Optical …
Jun 28, 2009 · Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now commonly used to measure macular thickness quantitatively for disease diagnosis and to monitor the efficacy of therapeutic modalities. 15–24 Optical coherence tomography measurements of macular thickness have been demonstrated to be highly reliable. 25–29 However, there are limited data of normal ...
better understand OCT’s capabilities in clinical practice. Specific OCT macula, pathological conditions and cases will be reviewed. Which eye? A. OD B. OS Intro/History: Optical Coherence Tomography OCT was first introduced in 1991 Due to the transparency of the eye (i.e. the retina can be viewed through the pupil), OCT
OCT Scan Normal Eye vs. 8 Most Common Pathologies - altris.ai
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) complex and Bruch’s membrane are considered the most hyperreflective structures in a normal macula OCT. Pathological processes can introduce new hyperreflective elements within the retina, aiding in differentiating normal and …
Anatomy Review - Optical Coherence Tomography Scans
Posterior segment evaluation with optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows visualization of the vitreous, retinal layers, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the choroidal layers. Figure 1: SD-OCT scan of a normal right eye.
The first step in interpreting optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is understanding the layers of the retina as observed in a “normal” retina, or a retina without macular pathology. The image below is an enlargement of a cross sectional image of a “normal” retina obtained from a spectral domain
Learning to read retinal OCT | Ophthalmology Management
O cular coherence tomography (OCT) has become a most useful imaging test for diagnosing, treating and monitoring retinal diseases, as it provides a virtual “optical biopsy” of the macula (Figure 1).
