Hyper-reflective Spots in OCT Imaging in Retinal Diseases: Imaging Features and Clinico-pathologic Correlation | Chapter 5 | New Advances in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 1

 New potential biomarkers for retinal affliction with an important affect diagnosis, forecast and management are recently handy and continuously found because of the rapid advances in the electronics of optical agreement tomography. One of those biomarkers are the hyper-reflective spots that were in the direction of a broad spectrum of retinal diseases specifically diabetic macular edema and age related macular deterioration and others. Detecting those HRSs is crucial in the administration strategies of those afflictions as high lightened in this place chapter.

Glaucoma Perspective: From Back to Future | Chapter 11 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 14

 The diagnosis of glaucoma is a conundrum that cannot be solved by depending on a single diagnostic instrument or a single sign. Inconsistency in diagnosis was linked to traditional, subjective approaches such as nerve fibre layer photography and visual field analysis. The introduction of optical coherence tomography (OCT) allowed for objective assessment of a variety of structures, including the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL), neural rim area, optic disc edge, and ganglion cell complex. OCT angiography, which was recently launched, allowed for the detection and measurement of perfusion, blood flow, and vessel density in various vascular beds. Artificial intelligence (AI) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have recently made it possible to optimise glaucoma care earlier and with more insight.
