What is Oct used for?
Most OCT is used for imaging the retina, so that’s what we’ll focus on. It’s revolutionized the field of retina, helped us revise the pathophysiology of multiple diseases based on OCT evidence, and is a standard for the treatment of multiple macular diseases. Optical coherence tomography is a non-contact, high-resolution, in vivo imaging modality.
What are common OCT findings?
We’ll look at the OCT through a number of common diseases. Below, we’ve highlighted a few diseases with their common OCT findings: Wet AMD leads to intraretinal fluid (IRF) and subretinal fluid (SRF) accumulation. The choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) can be visualized.
How a retinal OCT helps in glaucoma treatment?
If any doubt, a retinal OCT can demonstrate a detachment easily. Optic nerve and nerve fiber layer OCT helps in the management of glaucoma. The OCT machines provide automated, serial analysis of the nerve fiber layer thickness, cup-to-disc ratio, and other measurements.
What is anterior segment Oct?
Anterior segment OCT is most commonly used to evaluate the iridocorneal angle, such as for patients with narrow angles. It can also be used for corneal biometry to measure the thickness and steepness of the cornea. AS-OCT of an eye with narrow angles.
