ABOUT THE BOOK

Anterior & Posterior Segment OCT: Current Technology & Future Applications is a comprehensive guide to one of the most transformative diagnostic tools in modern ophthalmology—Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Often described as an "optical biopsy," OCT allows clinicians to see cross-sectional layers of the eye with micrometer resolution without ever touching the patient's eye.

The book serves as a bridge between high-level physics and clinical practice. The Posterior Segment portion focuses on the retina, macula, and optic nerve, detailing the diagnosis of conditions like Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy, and Glaucoma by analyzing retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. The Anterior Segment (AS-OCT) portion explores the "front" of the eye, providing invaluable data for corneal transplants, angle-closure glaucoma assessment, and pre-operative planning for refractive surgeries like LASIK.

The inclusion of the DVD-ROM provides a rich library of high-resolution scans, 3D reconstructions, and video loops, allowing practitioners to see the "dynamic" nature of ocular pathologies that static images cannot fully capture. It covers the evolution from older Time-Domain systems to modern Spectral-Domain (SD-OCT) and Swept-Source (SS-OCT) technologies, which offer much faster scan speeds and deeper tissue penetration.
