Abstract

Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans permit the structural analysis of retinal structures at high resolution. To achieve the level of precision needed in clinical trials and scientific projects there is a need for good technique and quality control (QC). It is important to recognise rtefacts and measurement errors. Errors will happen with any type of measurement, but if left unchecked they may compromise the outcome of a study and can potentially threaten patient’s safety. Importantly, the OCT operator is the single person who will see the live image during which data acquisition from the patient’s eye takes place. Even the best of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology will not be able to trace back what an OCT operator had done during image acquisition. This is because once done, people will only receive an averaged summary image for further analysis. Therefore recognising well known errors is a skill any OCT operator will need to master. This OCT manual will help you to learn how to: • acquire high quality retinal OCT scans • avoid pitfalls and learn about quality control • recognise pathology through short cases • develop your OCT interpretation skills further by more in-depth review of pathology • recognise the 3 “red lines” relevant for OCT in clinical practice • update your OCT literature knowledge base to 2021 Hopefully you will find this OCT booklet helpful and I wish you success working with this exciting technology.
