Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography

High-speed anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers a non-contact method for high resolution cross-sectional and three-dimensional imaging of the cornea and the anterior segment of the eye. As the first text completely devoted to this topic,Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomographycomprehensively explains both the scientific principles and the clinical applications of this exciting and advancing technology. Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomographyenhances surgical planning and postoperative care for a variety of anterior segment applications by expertly explaining how abnormalities in the anterior chamber angle, cornea, iris, and lens can be identified and evaluated using the Visante OCTtrade;. InsideAnterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography, Dr. Roger Steinert and Dr. David Huang, along with 22 of the fieldrs"s leading professionals, provide a wealth of useful clinical and physiological material about this new diagnostic imaging technique. Valuable images are included to assist in the pre- and postoperative assessment of various anterior segment disorders. Additionally, this unique resource contains detailed information on biometric measurements to enhance diagnostic capability. On the leading edge of anterior segment imaging: bull; Mapping of corneal thickness and keratoconus evaluation bull; Measurement of LASIK flap and stromal bed thickness bull; Visualization and measurement of anterior chamber angle and diagnosis of narrow angle glaucoma bull; Measuring the dimensions of the anterior chamber and assessing the fit of intraocular lens implants bull; Visualizing and measuring the results of corneal implants and lamellar procedures bull; Imaging through corneal opacity to see internal eye structures With the increase in popularity of anterior chamber imaging, and anterior segment OCT proving to be the best tool for high resolution biometry,Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomographyis a must-have for anterior segment, refractive, cornea, and glaucoma surgeons.
