Optical coherence tomography: a clinical and technical update

Optical Coherence Tomography represents the ultimate noninvasive ocular imaging technique although being in the field for over two-decades. This book encompasses both medical and technical developments and recent achievements. Here,the authors cover the field of application from the anterior to the posteriorocular segments (Part I) and present a comprehensive review on the development of OCT. Important developments towards clinical applications are covered inPart II, ranging from the adaptive optics to the integration on a slit-lamp, and passing through new structural and functional information extraction fromOCT data. The book is intended to be informative, coherent and comprehensive for both the medical and technical communities and aims at easing the communication between the two fields and bridging the gap between the two scientific communities.
