OCT Imaging in Glaucoma & Retina

Review of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), an emerging technology for performing high-resolution cross-sectional optical imaging. Learn the technical aspects of OCT and potential issues that arise while interpreting data.
Colorado Retina & Mile High Eye Institute teamed up to review Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), an emerging technology for performing high-resolution cross-sectional optical imaging.
Dr. Zak Vest, of MHEI and Dr. Brian Joondeph, of CRA, will provide a brief review of OCT technology, covering the technical aspects of OCT and potential issues that arise while interpreting data. We will dive into OCT output, how to correctly read OCT data findings, signal strength for reliability, and provide education of how to efficiently utilize OCT technology for treatment guidance of glaucoma and diseases of the retina, including AMD and diabetic retinopathy. We will also cover the anatomic measuring capabilities of the current devices in service as well as an overview of their normative database.
