The Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) gave us so much new facts about retinal disease that we wonder how we ever practiced as Vitreoretinal Consultants all these years. Topcon 2000 machine along with its upgraded software landed on our doorstep. With its improved and enhanced speed of 27,000 A scans/sec, improved software algorithms and additional facilities for anterior segment imaging. In this second edition highlight all these features and added newer chapters in keeping with the newer features. Images from the previous edition have been updated with the latest pictures with the series 2000. Optical Coherence Tomography, and began raving about its wonderful potential and its many uses, comes an enhanced and more precise technology called Spectral Domain OCT. It enhances the wide potential of 2D-OCT and is more precise with less interpolation in the interpretation of results. The TOPCON 3D-OCT-1000 is inbuilt with a nonmydriatic fundus camera and therefore has the unique ability of capturing the color picture and the OCT in one sitting and rather quickly making it comfortable for both patient and doctor. Outline a step-by-step approach to image capturing, analysis and interpretation with a large collection of selected cases. This book will generate the excitement in the reader enough to want to delve into this new 3D domain as much as it did in all of us when we were first exposed to it.
