Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT: Optical Coherence Tomography

The Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT is a comprehensive guide to using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis and management of corneal and anterior segment conditions. It covers the entire normal anatomy of the anterior segment and pathology of the conjunctiva, corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium, lens, iris, anatomic angle, and clinical settings such as trauma, infection, inflammation, and contact lens fitting. It includes over 500+ high-quality figures (anterior segment OCT imaging and clinical photos) comparing normal anatomy and a wide range of pathology, including both common and rare disorders. It also provides a well-rounded perspective of AS-OCT, including how to use, understand, and capture images, and links high-quality slit lamp images to the corresponding AS-OCT image with clear labels to show the pathology side by side. An eBook version is included with purchase.

Eye care providers are well-versed in the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for diagnosing and managing glaucoma and retinal diseases, but may not be as familiar with its diverse applications in the diagnosis of corneal and anterior segment conditions. Anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) is a valuable tool that can help differentiate between various corneal pathologies, visualize the anatomy of the angles, obtain information about the lens-capsule complex, and guide contact lens fitting, among many other clinical uses. Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT is a comprehensive guide that provides clinicians with hundreds of high-quality OCT images that showcase the utility of AS-OCT in diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of anterior segment diseases. The book covers the entire normal anatomy of the anterior segment and pathology of the conjunctiva, corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium, lens, iris, anatomic angle, and clinical settings such as trauma, infection, inflammation, and contact lens fitting. It includes information on using AS-OCT in clinical and surgical settings (intraoperative AS-OCT) and provides rich visual guidance with over 500+ high-quality figures (anterior segment OCT imaging and clinical photos) comparing normal anatomy and a wide range of pathology, including both common and rare disorders and how to differentiate frequently confused conditions. The book also provides a well-rounded perspective of AS-OCT, including how to use, understand, and capture images. Links high-quality slit lamp images to the corresponding AS-OCT image with clear labels to show the pathology side by side. Features clinical pearls in each chapter to relate key AS-OCT and clinical findings to everyday practice. An eBook version is included with purchase, allowing you to access all of the text, figures, and references on your mobile device.
