Innovations in Optical
Coherence Tomography:
Spectral Domain and Beyond
July 24-25, 2009
The Ritz-Carlton,
Cleveland, Ohio
Description
Cole Eye Institute is proud to offer the only U.S. course dedicated solely to
the new spectral domain OCT devices and how they can aid in the diagnosis and
management of anterior segment, retinal and glaucomatous diseases.
In a two-day session designed for ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses, technicians
and photographers, we will discuss how to integrate these devices into
your clinical practice, provide practical advice on disease diagnosis and management
using SD-OCT, offer hands-on practice with these devices, and consider
what the future holds.
Target Audience
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses, technicians and photographers, others.
Objectives
At the conclusion of the meeting, participants will be able to:
- Discuss methods to improve resolution (up to 3 microns).
- Review newer analysis packages (e.g., drusen or geographic atrophy calculations).
- Examine case samples that will highlight the course showing the same patient on time vs. spectral domain OCT.
