Abstract:
As one of the most state-of-the-art procedures for retinal and choroidal imaging, ultra-widefield optical coherence tomography (UWF-OCT) offers significant gains in terms of information
pertaining to peripheral retinal lesions and their differential diagnoses. In particular, it enables the presence of minimal accumulations of subretinal fluid to be assessed in detail and then documented. It also enables choroidal expansion of choroidal lesions to be precisely measured. Similar to conventional OCT, its only limitations relate to patient compliance and
opacities of the ocular media. While the pupil width is somewhat less important here, the quality of the images is nevertheless better with the patient under medication-induced mydriasis. Used in combination with UWF fundus photography, UWF-OCT is a helpful tool for assessing and monitoring peripheral retinal and choroidal lesions.
