This document discusses optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its use in retinal imaging. OCT has become the most important test for diagnosing and managing retinal diseases. Several improvements to OCT technology over time, including Fourier domain detection and swept-source OCT, have provided faster scanning speeds and better visualization of the choroid and sclera. Both structural and quantitative analysis of OCT scans provide valuable information. While artifacts can occur, OCT remains a non-invasive and repeatable tool that will continue improving with advances in software.
