Ophthalmological Imaging And Applications

Edited by and featuring contributions from world-class researchers, Ophthalmological Imaging and Applications offers a unified work of the latest human eye imaging and modeling techniques that have been proposed and applied to the diagnosis of ophthalmologic problems, including inflammation, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. With a focus on theory, basic principles, and results derived from research, the book: Explores various morphological, textural, higher-order spectral, and wavelet transformation techniques used to extract salient features from images of the human eye Examines 2D and 3D finite element and boundary element models of the human eye developed to simulate thermal steady-state conditions Addresses the difficult task of benchmarking the validity of human eye imaging techniques and computer-simulated results with experimental measurements Intended to be a companion to Image Analysis and Modeling in Ophthalmology, this volume covers several aspects of multimodal ophthalmological imaging and applications, presenting information in an accessible manner to appeal to a wide audience of students, researchers, and practitioners. Ophthalmological Imaging and Applications considers promising simulations that pave the way for new possibilities in computational methods for eye health care.

This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the application of the newest laser and microscope/ophthalmoscope technology in the field of high resolution imaging in microscopy and ophthalmology. Starting by describing High-Resolution 3D Light Microscopy with STED and RESOLFT, the book goes on to cover retinal and anterior segment imaging and image-guided treatment and also discusses the development of adaptive optics in vision science and ophthalmology. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the reader will learn about the latest developments and most up to date technology in the field and how these translate to a medical setting. High Resolution Imaging in Microscopy and Ophthalmology – New Frontiers in Biomedical Optics has been written by leading experts in the field and offers insights on engineering, biology, and medicine, thus being a valuable addition for scientists, engineers, and clinicians with technical and medical interest who would like to understand the equipment, the applications and the medical/biological background. Lastly, this book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Gerhard Zinser, co-founder of Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, a scientist, a husband, a brother, a colleague, and a friend.

A comprehensive guide for the eye specialist, Principles of Ocular Imaging presents essential information on imaging modalities for ophthalmologists, residents, and fellows. Ophthalmology and imaging are inextricably intertwined, and practicing eye care professionals need a single definitive source on multiple imaging modalities to reference in clinical practice. Together with their contributors, Drs. Gologorsky and Rosen provide concise but thorough information on the technology and clinical application of 22 imaging modalities unique to ophthalmology, with illustrations and photos throughout that demonstrate how to apply each imaging principle in clinical practice. Principles of Ocular Imaging is divided into the following subspecialties for easy reference in busy clinical environments: Oculoplastics: external photography, ptosis visual fields, slit lamp photography, and orbital ultrasonography Cornea and refractive: corneal topography, confocal microscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), biometry for intraocular lens (IOL) calculations Glaucoma: visual fields, optical coherence tomography (OCT) in glaucoma Retina: fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), OCT in retina, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), adaptive optics (AO), microperimetry, retinal ultrasonography Neuro-Ophthalmology: electrophysiology of vision and computed tomography (CT) & magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) A practical, illustrative guide to ophthalmic imaging, Principles of Ocular Imaging is an indispensable addition to the practicing ophthalmologist's professional library.

Digital fundus images can effectively diagnose glaucoma and diabetes retinopathy, while infrared imaging can show changes in the vascular tissues. Likening the eye to the conventional camera, Image Analysis and Modeling in Ophthalmology explores the application of advanced image processing in ocular imaging. This book considers how images can be us

Serving as a practical guide to the ocular imaging modalities that are currently available to eye care providers for the care of glaucoma patients, this book provides information on advances in ocular imaging and their applications in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Each chapter introduces the imaging modality, highlight its strengths and weaknesses for clinical care, and discuss its integration into the clinical examination and decision-making process. The chapters also provide an in-depth description of the interpretation of images from each imaging modality. When appropriate, the chapters will summarize past and ongoing research and propose future research directions and clinical applications. This title will appeal to ophthalmologists and optometrists at all levels, from trainees to experienced clinicians looking to learn new and important information.

The recent introduction of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has remarkably expanded the knowledge of different retinal, chorioretinal, and optic disc disorders. OCTA is nowadays often used as a routine exam in clinical practice, which has significantly modified the approach to patients, granting the opportunity to easily and noninvasively investigate the retinal and choroidal circulation. Major experts in posterior eye imaging share in this publication their experiences, images and ideas using OCTA in various contexts including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal dystrophies, thus providing an in-depth overview of the latest knowledge in this field.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the optical analog of ultrasound imaging and is emerging as a powerful imaging technique that enables non-invasive, in vivo, high resolution, cross-sectional imaging in biological tissue. This book introduces OCT technology and applications not only from an optical and technological viewpoint, but also from biomedical and clinical perspectives. The chapters are written by leading research groups, in a style comprehensible to a broad audience.
