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 third part of the course please ensure that you have either completed Part One - Image Capture and Storage and Part Two - Digital Cameras or you are familiar with the content.
Part three focuses on SLO instruments, which you will either experience as standalone instruments or incorporated within some OCT units, and discusses various methods of image capture, both central and wide field. We also look at how the use of selected colour channels offers detail of specific clinical tissues and structures and show examples of diagnostic benefits.
If you want to know how to achieve the best scans with OCT instruments go to Modern Imaging in Eye Care: Part Four - OCT.
