Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography in Vitreoretinal Surgery

Semin Ophthalmol. 2019;34(4):312-316. doi: 10.1080/08820538.2019.1620811. Epub 2019 Jun 26.

Abstract

Intraoperative OCT (iOCT) is an emerging modality capable of displaying real-time OCT images to the surgeon during surgery. The use of iOCT during vitreoretinal surgery improves our understanding of the tissue alterations that occur during surgical manipulations, which may impact surgical decision-making. We review the current iOCT modalities and clinical applications of iOCT.

Keywords: Intraoperative OCT; OCT; iOCT; intraoperative optical coherence tomography; optical coherence tomography.
