Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging modality that enhances the evaluation and management of retinal disease. It renders high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, providing optimal visualization of the retinal and choroidal anatomy. This course will review the interpretation and clinical application of OCT in the primary eye care setting.
Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
Review the anatomical characteristics of the vitreous, neurosensory retina, retinal pigment epithelium and choroid as visualized by OCT
Understand the applicability of OCT in the primary eye care setting
Review the interpretation of OCT scans and understand which disease entities are maximally imaged with this modality
Use OCT to classify Age Related Macular Degeneration and differentiate between the exudative and non-exudative forms of the disease
Apply OCT in the assessment of malignant choroidal lesions
Understand the utility of OCT in the evaluation of pseudopapilledema versus papilledema
