Abstract

INTRODUCTIONAmong retinal diagnostic methods it is important to consider optical coherence tomography(OCT), an imaging technology that can provide high-resolution tomographic images of theeye and allows thorough and non invasive study of ocular pathologies.OCT is analogous to B-mode ultrasonography, except that optical or light tissue reflec-tivity rather than acoustic tissue reflectivity is used. This innovative technique has higherspatial resolution than ultrasound (7.5 μversus 150 μ) to perform high-resolution measure-ments and imaging of ocular microanatomy. The OCT signal from a particular tissue layeris a combination of its reflectivity and the absorption and scattering properties of the over-lying layers (Schuman
