Abstract

NEWER IMAGING TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES INSIGHTS INTO DIAGNOSIS AND PATHOLOGIC PROCESS SURROUNDING RETINAL DISEASE. HOWEVER MOMENTOUS ADVANCES IN UNDERSTANDING OF IMAGING AND NEW BIO MARKERS HAVE LED TO A QUANTUM LEAP IN THEIR APPLICATION FOR ANTICIPATION OF TREATMENT AND SURGICAL OUTCOMES. THE USE OF IMAGING HENCE HELPS AND ENHANCES OUR CAPABILITIES OF EXPLAINING DISEASE OUTCOMES TO PATIENTS AND HAVE SAFER AND BETTER OUTCOMES. THIS IC WILL ATTEMPT TO LAY BARE THE USE OF ALL IMAGING MODALITIES USED IN ASSESSING THE PROGNOSTICATION OF RETINAL MANAGEMENT. THE IC WILL LOOK INTO THE USES OF IMAGING IN DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AND VASCULAR DISEASE, NEOVASCULAR PROCESS INCLUDING AMD AND PCV , SURGICAL MACULAR PATHOLOGIES AND RETINAL DETACHMENT AND DYSTROPHIC DISEASE LIKE DRY AMD AND HEREDITARY RETINOPATHIES. HENCE THIS COURSE AIMS TO BRING TO THE FORE THE POWER OF IMAGING TO ANTICIPATE OUTCOMES AND IMPROVE PATIENT CARE THEREBY GIVING US THE POWER OF KNOWING IT BEFORE IT HAPPENS!
