Spectral Domain OCT (With Dvd-rom)

Just as we were getting used to Optical Coherence Tomography, and began raving about its wonderful potential and its many uses, comes an enhanced and more precise technology called Spectral Domain OCT. It enhances the wide potential of 2D-OCT and is more precise with less interpolation in the interpretation of results.Several companies manufacture different types of machines using the principle of Spectral Domain OCT. The TOPCON© 3D-OCT-1000 is inbuilt with a non mydriatic fundus camera and therefore has the unique ability of capturing the color picture and the OCT in one sitting and rather quickly making it comfortable for both patient and doctor. While several books are available on OCT and its interpretation, this is possibly one of the early ones to be a practical guide to the beginner to this new and exciting technology.We have attempted to outline a step by step approach to image capturing, analysis and interpretation with a large collection of selected cases. The enclosed DVD also contains animations related to the relevant 3D images.We hope this book will generate the excitement in the reader enough to want to delve into this new 3D domain as much as it did in all of us when we were first exposed to it.Before long this technology will be enhanced with the addition of Adaptive Optics to the OCT technology. This will enable cellular level resolution rather than the present day tissue level pictures. Till that time enjoy the present and the book.
