The textbook Atlas of Ocular Optical Coherence Tomography, edited by Fedra Hajizadeh is a
monumental achievement and should serve as an incredibly important and valuable reference
tool for anyone with an interest in optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its most important
clinical applications. This text should be in particular invaluable to ophthalmology residents,
retina fellows, and general ophthalmologists who are increasingly called upon to have a sophisticated understanding of OCT and its interpretation. OCT has truly transformed ophthalmology and is an integral and indispensable tool in our care of patients with eye disease. As with
any diagnostic technology, its usefulness is ultimately limited by the interpretation skill of the
user. This OCT atlas should provide immediate dividends in improving one’s proficiency in
accurately interpreting OCT findings.
The text is comprehensive in its coverage, first providing an overview of OCT technology
and its limitations, and then sequentially reviewing OCT findings and interpretations in various
diseases including age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular disorders, central serous
chorioretinopathy, vitreo-macular interface disorders, optic nerve diseases, tumors, pathologic
myopia, hereditary disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Although the focus of this text is
clearly the posterior segment, a very useful and important chapter is included on anterior segment OCT, a current hot topic in imaging.
The text is impeccably written and beautifully illustrated throughout and reflects the tremendous expertize of Dr. Hajizadeh and her exceptional collaborators. There are over 600
images which illustrate the diversity of imaging findings that we encounter in clinical practice.
The images are not limited to OCT and include companion color, infrared reflectance, autofluorescence, and angiographic images which allow the user to appreciate the importance of
multimodal imaging in making accurate disease diagnoses. The images are extensively annotated and the legends are detailed, providing the reader with an exceptionally clear understanding of the key features in each case.
In summary, this impressive atlas of OCT should serve as a key resource and reference for
ophthalmologists for many years to come
