OCT in AMD : optical coherence tomography in age-related macular degeneration : annual report of the French Ophthalmic Society

Rapid or even dramatic progress has been made in the field of AMD over recent years, leading to a constant revision of basic concepts. A wide range of fundus imaging modalities are now available, and this book explains the respective value of each technique. The information provided by OCT is presented logically by comparison with plain films, autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, or indocyanine green angiography. Meticulous biomicroscopic examination of macular changes and the essential value of fluorescein angiography for the detection of anatomical alterations of the macula and for precise evaluation of lesions and their course by indocyanine green angiography have naturally led the author Gabriel Coscas to analyze the new data provided by OCT. cover......Page 1 front-matter......Page 2 Introduction......Page 24 1 Principles of OCT Examination Techniques Main OCT Systems......Page 28 2 Applications of Spectral-Domain OCT in AMD......Page 38 3 Spectral-Domain OCT......Page 57 4 Combined Optical Coherence Tomography and Confocal Ophthalmoscopy (OCT-SLO)......Page 70 5 Principles and Applications of Modern Optical Coherence Tomography......Page 86 6 Spectral-Domain OCT-cSLO......Page 102 7 Oct Interpretation......Page 112 8.1 Clinical Features and Natural History of AMD......Page 183 8.2 Clinical Features and Natural History of AMD on OCT......Page 206 9 Chorioretinal Anastomoses......Page 284 10 Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy......Page 309 11 Classic Choroidal Neovascularization......Page 331 12 Atrophic Forms (Dry AMD)......Page 347 13 The Contribution of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)......Page 370 back-matter.pdf......Page 382
