Technologies for multimodal digital imaging of vitreoretinal diseases have
improved the accuracy of diagnosis and the depth of the knowledge of the
mechanisms of disease and their response to treatments. Optic coherence
tomography (OCT) has become a mandatory tool for the management and for the
follow-up of retinal pathologies. OCT technology evolved in the last two decades
from time-domain to spectral domain and recently to the swept-source OCTs
(SS-OCT). SS-OCT improved the depth of imaging and the scan speed, thus adding
novel algorithms and features such as for vitreous and vitreoretinal interface
evaluation, choroid segmentation and mapping, OCT angiography and En-face OCT.
The multimodal approach using SS-OCT is expected to advance the understanding of
retinal pathologies such as age related macular degeneration, diabetic
maculopathy, central serous chorioretinopathy, the pachychoroid spectrum and
macular telangiectasia. Surgical vitreoretinal diseases such as vitreo-macular
traction syndrome, epiretinal membrane, retinal detachment, proliferative
vitreoretinal retinopathy and diabetic traction retinal detachment also will be
better understood and documented with SS-OCT. This technology also provides great
utility for a broad spectrum of ophthalmic pathologies including glaucoma,
uveitis, tumors and anterior segment evaluation.
