Novel Retinal Imaging Technologies

Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology & Eye Science (IJOES) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7

Abstract

Newly-developed imaging techniques show extensive promise and potential to improve early detection, accurate diagnosis, and management of retinal diseases. Optical coherernce tomography angiography (OCTA), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and molecular imaging (MI) are all new and promising imaging modalities. As these imaging instruments have advanced, they have enabled visualization of the retina at an unprecedented resolution. Published studies have established the efficacy of these modalities in the assessment of common retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vascular occlusions. Each of these systems is built upon different principles and all have different limitations. In addition, the three imaging modalities have complementary features and thus can be integrated in to a multimodal imaging system, which will be more powerful in future. .
