The development of digital imaging systems for optometry has reached the point where they are an integral part of eye health assessment.
In this four-part series we will cover image capture and storage, digital cameras, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Before you start the second part of the course please ensure that you have either completed Modern Imaging in Eye Care: Part One - Image Capture and Storage or you are familiar with its content.
Part two discusses the various methods of capturing anterior and posterior ocular structures with digital cameras and shows how to set up the patient, gives tips on achieving the best image and how to enhance the image once captured. The emphasis is both on optimum data capture and maintaining legal and procedural integrity. The aim is to show how image storage, adaptation and transfer supports you in clinical decision making and how a good understanding of digital imaging is able to help you with your patient management.
If you want to know how to achieve the best images with scanning laser ophthalmoscopy systems, continue to Modern Imaging in Eye Care: Part Three - SLO.
