Spectral Domin Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Of The Eye (Hardcover)

Ophthalmology as a subject and stream is very picture intensive. Also the technological change is very rapid in this field; improvements in technology have led to generation of better pictures which help the practitioners in diagnosing the disease. Technology is also one reason why the ophthalmology segment of medical practice has grown rapidly.

This book focuses on images generated through the latest technology OCT imaging device. It talks about how to diagnose with the help of these pictures used in varied cases that can commonly arise for the specialist.

The book will be first of its kind to feature three of the latest high end OCT imaging devices in one text atlas, namely the Spectralis (Heidelberg Engineering), Bioptigen (Hand Held SDOCT) and the Tomey (Cassia). The very high quality of pictures will not only give them clear understanding of the cases but also an idea of what these high class machinery can do.
