Main description:

Optical coherence tomography has become a part of clinical routine in everyday eye practice, allowing objective, quantitative structural assessment and driving clinical decision making in retinal diseases, glaucoma and cataract surgery. To guide the eyecare professionals who rely on this technology, Everyday OCT: A Handbook for Clinicians and Technicians, Second Edition is a user-friendly, practical reference that provides all of the information they need to know about current OCT technologies and their clinical utilities.

Drs. Joel S. Schuman, Carmen A. Puliafito, James G. Fujimoto, and Jay S. Duker represent the cutting edge of OCT applications and, together with their expert contributing authors, they have created a clear and concise guide designed to provide clinicians and technicians with the knowledge and tips to best utilize OCT technology.

This Second Edition is split into three parts: an operational guide with in-depth guidance and tips on the six major OCT devices from six different manufacturers, an interpretation guide featuring all the major pathologies OCT can visualize, and a technical guide containing detailed technical aspects of the SD-OCT and the future of OCT technologies.

Everyday OCT, Second Edition explains how to:

Set up and employ OCT technology
Select and facilitate scans
Ensure and assess the quality of scans
Accurately interpret OCT images

Everyday OCT: A Handbook for Clinicians and Technicians, Second Edition covers the diversity of new devices and applications in the field of OCT in a succinct and easy-to-read format, making it the ideal resource for clinicians and technicians to have by their side when performing or interpreting OCTs.
