1. Optical Coherence Tomography OCT Dennis M. West, CRA

15. Fast OCT 3 scan The same eye scanned with maximum resolution

22. The over-all retinal profile

24. a pigment epithelial detachment is causing the convexity

25. Aside from the retinal detachment, notice the underlying concave curvature of the retina, suggesting the long eye of a significant myope

28. Macular cyst

29. Macular hole, stage 2

30. Macular hole, stage 3

31. Macular hole, stage 4, operculum suspended by the hyaloid membrane

34. Serous retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED)

36. Choroidal neovascular membrane

37. Cystoid macular edema cause by diabetic maculopathy

38. Sub-retinal fibrosis

52. Each of the six scans can be reviewed by clicking on the slider bar to the left, and any or all of them can be printed out for the patient's record

79. When you click on the thumbnail at the bottom, the current set of scans is displayed in the windows above. The software also tells you what the signal strength was for that particular scan, on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being maximum signal strength. You can only save one scan from the group
