CRC Press Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases

The most comprehensive text and definitive guide for nearly 30 years about optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in ophthalmology, Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Fourth Edition covers a range of subjects, from principles and operation techniques to clinical interpretation and the latest innovations in OCT.   Written by the pioneers of OCT technologies and the world-renowned OCT researchers Drs. Joel S. Schuman, James G. Fujimoto, Jay S. Duker, Hiroshi Ishikawa, and Gadi Wollstein, Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Fourth Edition is an essential text for imaging technology.OCT now occupies a dominant role as a diagnostic tool for retinal conditions and glaucoma. At the same time, the technology continues to show potential for emerging clinical and research applications across all the ophthalmological subspecialties. To reflect these rapid advances, this new edition of Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases features a complete and thorough revision of the existing text as well as the addition of cutting-edge content to bring this classic resource completely up to date.New content in the Fourth Edition includes:•    OCT angiography•    Swept-source OCT•    OCT in multimodal imaging•    Clinical utility of OCT in glaucoma prediction and progression detection •    OCT for neuro-ophthalmology Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Fourth Edition is the one and only book needed by practitioners who use OCT for clinical eye care. About the Author Joel S. Schuman, MD, is the Elaine Langone Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Ophthalmology and Professor of Neuroscience & Physiology at NYU Langone Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He is Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Electrical & Computer Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and Professor of Neural Science in the Center for Neural Science at NYU College of Arts and Sciences. He chaired the ophthalmology department at NYU Langone Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine from 2016-2020. Prior to arriving at NYU in 2016, he was the Eye and Ear Foundation Professor and Chairman of Ophthalmology (2003-2016), the Eye and Ear Institute, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Eye Center, Professor of Bioengineering at the Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh and Founder of the Louis J. Fox Center for Vision Restoration of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the University of Pittsburgh. He was a member of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, Carnegie Mellon University, and University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Schuman is a native of Roslyn, New York; he graduated Columbia University (AB, 1980) and Mt. Sinai School of Medicine (MD, 1984). Following his internship at New York's Beth Israel Medical Center (1985), he completed residency training at the Medical College of Virginia (1988) and a glaucoma fellowship at Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary (clinical 1989; research 1990), where he was a Heed Fellow. After just over 1 year on the Harvard faculty, he moved to New England Medical Center, Tufts University to cofound the New England Eye Center in 1991, where he was Residency Director (1991-1999) and Glaucoma and Cataract Service Chief (1991-2003). He became a Professor of Ophthalmology in 1998 and Vice Chair in 2001. Dr. Schuman and his colleagues were first to identify a molecular marker for human glaucoma, published in Nature Medicine in 2001. Continuously funded by the National Eye Institute as a principal investigator since 1995, he is an inventor of optical coherence tomography (OCT), used world-wide for ocular diagnostics. Dr. Schuman has published more than 400 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, has authored or edited 8 books, and has contributed more than 80 book chapters. Dr. Schuman is a foundi
