OCT angiography (OCTA) is a revolutionary imaging modality that allows visualization of the vascular structure in the retina and choroid en vivo. Optical Coherence Tomography and OCT Angiography is a comprehensive guide that explains the science of OCT and OCT angiography, as well as clinical interpretation of images. As OCT angiography becomes the clinical standard, it is imperative to develop the nomenclature and descriptive interpretation to guide diagnosis and treatment. This book is intended for use by clinicians, technicians and imagers to develop a standard vocabulary and help guide the user towards more accurate assessment. Case presentations of all major retinal and choroidal diseases, using OCT angiography, OCT and fluorescein and ICG angiography are included.
Author Biography
Dr. Amir H. Kashani attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where he obtained his MD and PhD. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the University of Southern California (USC) Eye Institute. He also completed a fellowship in vitreoretinal surgery and retinal diseases at the Associated Retinal Consultants (Royal Oak, Michigan). Dr. Kashani is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He is an Assistant Professor and clinician-scientist at the USC Eye Institute.His research involves the use of imaging spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography to improve the diagnosis and management of retinal diseases. He has an active clinical practice in both medical and surgical diseases of the retina and has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in the field. Dr. Kashani is also a clinical investigator for a number of clinical trials. Darrin Landry, CRA, OCT-C has been an ophthalmic photographer since 1990, working primarily in retina practices. He is the co-founder and vice president of Bryson Taylor Inc, an ophthalmic consulting company that specializes in ophthalmic education. He was part of an expert panel that devised the certification for optical coherence tomography for the Ophthalmic Photographers' Society. His list of clients includes private practices, academic institutions, clinical trial reading centers and biotechnology companies across the United States and in several countries in Europe and South America. He is the author of multiple peer-reviewed articles, as well as Retinal Imaging Simplified and Optical Coherence Tomography: A Clinical Atlas of Retinal Images.
