Principles of Ocular Imaging, By

Abstract

Drs Gologorsky and Rosen have created a beautifully illustrated, high yield text that ought to become a standard reference for the field of ophthalmology. Offering a concise and comprehensive guide to 22 ocular imaging modalities in just over 200 pages, Principles of Ocular Imaging is meticulously organised from anterior to posterior, with clear divisions for the various specialities. Each section has pages filled with vibrant, high-resolution images of classic patient presentations. Accompanying each photograph are succinct descriptions of critical information for each disease process and the suggested imaging approach. The language is clear and would be helpful at all stages of training and practice as a primer or refresher. In terms of the structure of the book, the main sections are oculoplastics, cornea and refractive, retina, glaucoma, and neuroophthalmology. Now, several years away from my ophthalmology residency, I found the cornea and retina sections’ more recent updates particularly elucidating, from the applications of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a ‘light biopsy’ tool in cornea, to the many uses of OCT angiography and adaptive optics in retinal practice. The key topics discussed in each section are:
