Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration leakage is discerned with optical coherence tomography
October 25th, 2006
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) leakage is discerned with optical coherence tomography (OCT). According to recent research from the Netherlands, "Evaluating the presence of leakage on fluorescein angiography (FA) in patients with AMD retreated with photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be difficult. New diagnostic tools such as OCT might help to optimize PDT management. Thirty AMD patients scheduled for regular follow-up FA in conjunction with PDT treatment were also scanned with OCT."
