Clinical disorders of the retina have been attracting the attention of researchers, aiming at reducing the blindness rate. This includes uveitis, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, endophthalmitis, proliferative retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma.
Currently, most ophthalmologists perform diagnosis by visual observation and interpretation. Treatment is significantly dependent on having early and accurate diagnosis, which can be significantly improved by employing disease-specific computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems based on different image modalities such as: OCT, fundus imaging, and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). This book will focus on OCT imaging for the diagnosis of retinal diseases.
