Description
Internationally recognized experts in retina, glaucoma, and imaging techniques provide a complete review of posterior segment imaging. It is brief enough to read as a primer on ophthalmic imaging, yet comprehensive enough to refer to when you encounter an unusual clinical picture and want examples to examine. Disease-oriented and organized by pathophysiology and anatomy, this volume makes it easy to find a given diagnosis. Each chapter presents a variety of disease-specific images using the full arsenal of available imaging making it simple to recognize each disease state. The images are accompanied by succinct guidelines to help you make accurate clinical interpretations.
Reviews
"Concentrating on posterior segment imaging, and organizing their material by pathophysiology and anatomy, the contributors include over 1800 illustrations for 60 conditions, including macular diseases, retinal vascular diseases (including diabetic retinopathy and ocular ischemic syndrome), inflammatory and infectious diseases (including tuberculosis and fungal infections), other retinal diseases such as metabolic and nutrition anomalies or hereditary disorders, tumors, and optic nerver disorders. (...) This is suitable for review, but is so well-illustrated it can be used for reference when an unusual clinical picture appears. - SciTech Book News, Vol. 30, No. 2, June 2006
