For diagnosis of any pathology insitu, imaging is the most important tool. For diagnosing retinal pathologies, retinal imaging has played a very critical role. It started with introduction of FFA in early 60’s and after a 3 decade hiatus a pathbreaking technology-OCT was introduced in early 90’s.
There have been multiple iteration of OCT, a must have in all ophthalmic practices. In this episode vitreo-retina experts, Dr Preetam Samant,Eye Associates, Mumbai, Dr Unnikrishnan Nair, Chaitanya Eye Hospital, Trivandrum and Dr Sachin Kabra, Scahin Retina Centre, Pune, will discuss and highlight applications of retinal imaging in today’s practice. The advent of newer technology like UWF imaging. How has all these technologies changed the diagnostic paradigm (identifying new biomarkers) and hence the treatment algorithms. How is AI being used to enhance diagnostics. What are some of the new technologies or modifications we can expect in coming decade. Especially how to optimise use of these machines in Indian context(cost factor). The episode is produced by Dr Mandar Paranjpe. Please send your feedback to paranjpeeyecare@gmail.com
