Optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis and management of uveitis

摘要: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an integral tool in the imaging of numerous diseases posterior segment. The diagnostic investigation infectious and noninfectious uveitic conditions often requires multiple modalities appropriate clinical context. Modern OCT technology proved useful not only these conditions, but also monitoring their course therapeutic response. Inflammation-induced changes at level retina, retinal pigment epithelium, choroid can now easily be identified using OCT. Prognostic information on visual acuity outcome estimated based findings. Numerous findings have been described setting various uveitides. Although none appear to pathognomonic for diagnosis specific syndromes, context they add a great deal management uveitis.
