The recent introduction of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has remarkably expanded our knowledge of different retinal, chorioretinal, and optic disc disorders. In addition, OCTA is nowadays often introduced as a routine exam in clinical practice, which has significantly modified the approach to our patients, granting the opportunity to non-invasively investigate the retinal and choroidal circulation.
For sure, OCTA technology is not without limitations and we all are still trying to interpret the information we capture. However, there is no question that this imaging technology has modified our approach to patients.
In this book, many major experts in posterior eye imaging share their experiences and their latest images and ideas. We sincerely hope that our efforts will be useful to all of you who are interested in this new technology. In a few years, we are confident that many of the limitations of this technology will be brilliantly overcome by new hardware and software applied to OCTA imaging, thus allowing the technology to be employed widely in the patient care.
We would like to thank Karger Publishers for making this book possible, and we express our sincere gratitude to all the doctors, technicians, and nurses who share their enthusiasm and efforts with us daily.
Enjoy reading!
