Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has added a new algorithm to its platform that images vascular structures of the posterior segment. This technology allows us to visualize blood vessels of the retina and the optic nerve head without the use of injectable dyes. Therefore, OCT angiography (OCTA) is safe, repeatable and has several potential benefits to our clinical practice.

This course will attempt to familiarize ophthalmologists with the OCTA technology and explain the information provided by the machine (reading the OCTA print-out). The discussions will include possible diagnostic uses of OCTA in clinical practice and how this device compares with the gold standard (OCT, visual fields, fundus angiography, etc) for that disease. There will be an emphasis on case-based examples from both glaucoma and retinal diseases ensuring transfer of accurate, practical information relevant to common clinical scenarios.
