Abstract
OBJECTIVE: DESPITE THE WIDESPREAD USE OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT) IN GLAUCOMA, ITS INTERPRETATION IS OFTEN PROBLEMATIC. AT THE END OF THIS COURSE, THE ATTENDEE WILL UNDERSTAND THE RNFL AND GCA PRINTOUTS AND BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE UNDERLYING ABNORMALITY RELIABLY.
SYNOPSIS: OCT HAS BECOME AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR STRUCTURAL IMAGING IN GLAUCOMA. UNDERSTANDING THE TEST PRINTOUT IS ESSENTIAL FOR PROPER INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS AND OPTIMUM PATIENT MANAGEMENT. APART FROM THE RETINAL NERVE FIBRE LAYER (RNFL) THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS, NEWER APPLICATIONS INCLUDE GANGLION CELL ANALYSIS (GCA) AND OCT ANGIOGRAPHY. THIS COURSE SHALL DISCUSS THE OCT PRINTOUT IN VARIED CLINICAL SETTINGS AND EXPLAIN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RNFL AND GCA ALGORITHM. EARLY RESULTS OF OCT-ANGIOGRAPHY WILL BE DISCUSSED, ALONG WITH SUGGESTED INDICATIONS OF ITS USE. FINALLY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENTS AND FALLACIES IN IMAGING WILL BE ILLUSTRATED USING CASE SCENARIOS.
