The OCT machines provide automated, serial analysis of the nerve fiber layer thickness, cup-to-disc ratio, and other measurements. They can compare the patient’s optic nerve and nerve fiber …

Jun 11, 2023 · By practicing these three steps, you will be better able to accurately (and comfortably) use OCT to your clinical advantage! 1. Know what’s normal. Familiarize yourself with how a normal …

Proposed lexicon for anatomic landmarks in normal posterior segment spectraldomain optical coherence tomography. The IN OCT Consensus. Ophthalmology. 2014;121:1572–8.

Optical coherence tomography is a quick, non invasive and reproducible imaging tool for macular lesions and has become an essential part of retina practice. This review address the common protocols for …

When evaluating an OCT scan, the most logical step is to understand how a normal macula OCT should look. The most telling feature across all scans is the contrast between light and dark areas. Typically, …

In this scan of a healthy retina, notice that the most hyper-reflective (brightest white) band is composed of more than one line. It is a common misconception that this band is composed solely of retinal …

Jan 27, 2025 · Step 1: With an OCT Macula, identify the retinal layers. Recognize the normal anatomy: RNFL, GCL, IPL, INL, OPL, photoreceptor layer, RPE, and choroid. Step 2: Look for abnormal fluid. …

A normal OCT scan shows a symmetric and centrally located foveal pit. The absence of fluid accumulation, either within the retinal layers (intraretinal fluid) or beneath the retina (subretinal fluid), …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that renders an in vivo cross-sectional view of the retina. OCT utilizes a concept known as interferometry to create a cross …

What Does A Normal OCT Exam Look Like? A normal OCT scan shows: Distinct, organized retinal layers with no fluid or disruptions. A characteristic central depression in the macula known as the …
