Diagnostic insights with retinal ultra-widefield multimodal imaging - perspectives from an optometrist and ophthalmologist
Multimodal imaging is a valuable tool for the management of retinal diseases. This session aims to give diagnostic clues and insights to many common retinal pathologies with an emphasis on features that distinguish sight-threatening lesions from more benign diseases to guide management and enable effective multidisciplinary patient care. Imaging modalities covered will include:
- High-resolution swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) at the macular
- Navigated SSOCT scans of the peripheral retina
- Confocal autofluorescence retinal imaging
- Multicolour ultra-widefield retinal imaging.
Clinical cases will be presented to include, macular degeneration, causes of retinal fluid, diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy, retinal detachment and other interesting cases.
Learning outcome:
Practitioners will recognise the benefits of ultra-widefield imaging to aid diagnosis and management of retinal abnormalities.
