Additional information

Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT: Optical Coherence Tomography, 1st Edition

While eye care providers are thoroughly familiar with the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma and retinal diseases, many are not as familiar with its myriad uses for the diagnosis of corneal and anterior segment conditions. Anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) can help to differentiate between various corneal pathologies, show 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 expertly guides clinicians through all aspects of AS-OCT with hundreds of high-quality OCT images that highlight the utility of AS-OCT in diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of anterior segment diseases.

Key Features

Covers the entire normal anatomy of the anterior segment and pathology of the conjunctiva, corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium, lens, iris, anatomical angle, and clinical settings such as trauma, infection, inflammation, and contact lens fitting.
Includes information on using AS-OCT in clinical and surgical settings (intraoperative AS-OCT).
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.
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. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.

**********************

Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT: Optical Coherence Tomography is a comprehensive and practical guide to understanding and interpreting optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the anterior segment of the eye. The authors, Arnold L. Krieger, MD, and Thomas J. Peterson, MD, provide a systematic review of OCT technology, its applications in clinical practice, and its importance in the diagnosis and management of various ocular diseases.

The textbook begins with an introduction to optical coherence tomography, which provides an overview of the study of OCT technology and its principles of operation. It then moves on to the main clinical applications of OCT in the diagnosis and management of various ocular diseases, focusing on understanding its diagnostic capabilities and limitations.

The following sections of the textbook focus on specific OCT techniques used in the study of the anterior segment of the eye, including angiographic OCT and high-speed optical coherence OCT. In each chapter, the authors discuss the principles of operation, imaging techniques, and image interpretation of these OCT techniques, respectively.

One of the notable qualities of Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT: Optical Coherence Tomography is its emphasis on the practical application of OCT technology in clinical practice. The authors integrate knowledge from various fields, including ophthalmology, optometry, and visual sciences to provide a comprehensive overview of OCT technology and its importance in the diagnosis and management of various eye diseases.

Additional features included in this textbook further enhance its usefulness. These features include:

Case Studies: The textbook presents numerous real-life clinical cases that illustrate the practical application of OCT technology in the diagnosis and management of various ocular diseases. These cases serve as valuable tools to stimulate critical thinking and encourage discussions about the choice of OCT technique and the interpretation of the resulting images.
Online Resources: Along with the print edition, an online learning kit is available that includes interactive exercises, self-assessment tests, and additional information on selected topics. These digital resources complement the content of the book and provide clinicians with a convenient way to review and apply their knowledge.
Glossary: The textbook includes a comprehensive glossary that defines key terms used throughout the text. This reference helps clinicians quickly look up and understand unfamiliar terms as they read.

Overall, Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT: Optical Coherence Tomography is a comprehensive and well-organized guide to understanding and interpreting optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment of the eye. Its combination of solid scientific material, clinical applications, and diverse features makes it an indispensable tool for both clinicians dealing with eye diseases and students and residents who want to improve their understanding of OCT technology and its application in the diagnosis and management of various eye diseases. Whether used as a core textbook or a reference, this textbook will undoubtedly contribute to a deeper understanding of the world of OCT technology and its applications in modern ophthalmology.
