Are you a medical professional looking for a comprehensive guide on Angio OCT in everyday ophthalmic practice? Look no further, as this book is the perfect resource for you. Written by three renowned authors – Bruno Lumbroso, David Huang, and Marco Rispoli – this book delves into the intricate world of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and its applications in the field of ophthalmology.

Over the years, there has been a significant shift from using traditional fluorescein angiography to OCT angiography in the assessment and diagnosis of retinal pathologies. Optical coherence tomography angiography has now become an essential tool in routine eye examinations, revolutionizing the way we analyze retinal structure and blood flow.

Angio OCT in Everyday Ophthalmic Practice comprises 18 informative chapters that cover a range of topics, including the principles and technology behind OCTA, common terminology, practical challenges in OCTA, artifacts in OCTA, the use of OCTA in normal retinal vascular structure, quantitative assessment of OCTA findings, the role of OCTA in age-related macular degeneration and choroidal neovascularization, monitoring of exudative choroidal neovascularization after treatment, identifying features of choroidal neovascularization activity, OCTA features in polypoidal vasculopathy, OCTA assessment of diabetic retinopathy, and OCTA findings in branch and central vein occlusions.

What sets this book apart is its practical approach to teaching OCTA interpretation for everyday clinical use. The authors have carefully curated a collection of drawings, outlines, and structural and functional OCT figures to aid in the understanding and diagnosis of retinal pathologies. This makes the book a valuable resource for both experienced ophthalmologists and residents who are learning the ropes of this cutting-edge technology.

Now, let’s dive deeper into the content of this book. The initial chapters provide a solid foundation by explaining the principles and technology behind OCTA, familiarizing readers with the terminology used in OCTA reports, and addressing practical challenges that may arise while performing and interpreting OCTA scans.

The chapters that follow focus on the specific applications of OCTA in different retinal conditions. For instance, the book provides detailed insights into the use of OCTA in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the identification and evaluation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). It also explores the role of OCTA in monitoring the progression of exudative CNV after treatment.

In addition to AMD, the book sheds light on other conditions such as polypoidal vasculopathy and diabetic retinopathy, showcasing how OCTA can enhance the understanding and management of these diseases. By providing OCTA features and images, the authors bring these conditions to life, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of their pathophysiology.

The last chapter of the book is dedicated to the assessment of branch and central vein occlusions using OCTA. By highlighting the unique features seen in these conditions, the authors demonstrate how OCTA can aid in the diagnosis and assessment of retinal vein occlusions.

With its rich content and illustrative approach, Angio OCT in Everyday Ophthalmic Practice is an invaluable resource for any ophthalmologist or ophthalmology resident interested in mastering the art of OCTA interpretation. The book equips its readers with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently interpret OCTA scans and make accurate diagnoses.
