Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive technique for imaging the microvasculature of the retina and the choroid. The advent of OCTA has allowed ophthalmologists to identify new pathologies, recognise new syndromes, and organise disorders with new classifications.This atlas provides clinicians with state-of-the-art principles of clinical OCTA imaging, helping them interpret and understand the features of the angiographic images.Following the success of the first edition (9789351528999) published in 2015, this second edition has been fully revised, with all chapters rewritten and new topics added to provide the very latest advances in the field.New knowledge about existing diseases and new disorders are described in depth, and operating principles, clinical applications, and future developments are explained thoroughly by the pioneers of the technology.The first part of the atlas covers the basic principles of OCT angiography, methods and technology, image interpretation, vascular anatomy of the retina, and clinical applications.Part two provides a general update on current research into OCT angiography in various retinal, choroid and anterior chamber disorders.The third and final part of the book describes future clinical applications and implications of next generation devices.This new edition is an invaluable guide for ophthalmologists and trainees for use in everyday practice.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye (eyeSmart). The technique is recognised worldwide as an essential device for diagnosis, assessment and follow up of retinal diseases and glaucoma.The third edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised to provide clinicians and trainees with the most recent advances in OCT imaging. New examination and diagnostic protocols are covered in depth and this edition includes a step by step guide to data interpretation.Divided into three sections, the book begins with discussion on interpretation of OCT images, including ‘en face’ and dyeless angiography.The second section covers lesions and diseases, and part three explains new syndromes and classifications.Highly illustrated with clinical images and tables, this practical reference has been written by renowned experts based in Italy.Key pointsPractical guide to recent advances in OCT imagingFully revised, new edition covers new examination and diagnostic protocols, with step by step guide to data interpretationInternationally recognised, Italy-based author teamPrevious edition (9789351525318) published in 2014
