Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases 2nd Edition (2004) by Joel S. Schuman MD PDF

Description

Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Second Edition is a completely revised and updated version of this classic text. Incorporated within over 700 pages are a multitude of updated features unique to this edition including over 1,600 color images, state-of-the-art technology, and case presentations. These elements cohesively work together to successfully demonstrate the retina in normal and diseased states using the innovative Stratus OCTTM.Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Second Edition is written with the clinician in mind. The text’s primary objective is to illustrate the appearance of the eye in health and disease, comparing conventional clinical technologies using OCT imaging. This method introduces the clinician to the manifestations of disease as elucidated by OCT, while presenting the more familiar fundoscopic and fluorescein angiographic appearance side-by-side.Drs. Joel S. Schuman, Carmen A. Puliafito, and James G. Fujimoto, PhD together with their co-authors have collaborated to produce this comprehensive resource. OCT applications in retinal diseases, glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, anterior segment and a description of OCT technologies are all topics extensively covered in this new edition. An appendix is included that contains a wealth of technical information for those interested in learning more about the principles of operation of this medical diagnostic imaging technology.This text will provide a clinical reference for the retinal and glaucoma specialist that shows how to utilize and interpret OCT imaging to enhance diagnostic sensitivity and specificity as well as to enhance therapeutic decision making and monitor the outcome of treatment. Both clinicians and scientists interested in optical imaging of the eye will find this insightful text a useful reference.Features: Over 1,600 color images. Strong focus on retina, glaucoma, and the anterior segments. Utilizes and interprets OCT imaging.

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Call me biased but I must say this book is very colorful and exclusive like UPMC which celebrates Hispanic heritage month, has lots of South American foreign graduates and a Jewish student center. It is so sexy and glamorous.

⭐I’m surprised there aren’t more OCT texts out there. I’ve had this book for quite some time now. It is a great resource with good pictures of fundus images of many disease states and correlates them with FA and OCT images. Often there are pre and post treatment pictures.It may be outdated soon with some of the newer OCT technologies coming out, but I think the basics and OCT findings presented will not be significantly different.The focus of the book is definitely on retinal disease although there is a chapter on OCT in management of glaucoma. For retinal disease, it is pretty comprehensive, usually showing multiple examples of any given disease.I would highly recommend this book for those with an interest in OCT.My ownly gripe with the book is that I felt that the authors should have developed a methodology for the systematic evaluation of an OCT…similar to how medical students are taught to read a chest x-ray. Oh well.

⭐This book is a more than adequate reference to OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and its’ applications to ocular diseases. The principles of OCT is a very good reference for understanding how the technology works. The OCT findings correlated with the fundus pictures and angiogram provide an excellent view of the pathology of the cases reviewed. A good reference to have for glaucoma and retinal specialist.
