1. Aims: To demonstrate ultrahigh resolution, three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (3D-OCT) and projection OCT fundus imaging for enhanced visualization of outer retinal pathology in non-exudative age related macular degeneration (AMD).
   
   Methods: A high-speed, ultrahigh 3.5 µm resolution OCT prototype instrument was developed for the ophthalmic clinic. 83 patients with non-exudative AMD were imaged. Projection OCT fundus images were generated from 3D-OCT data by selectively summing different retinal depth levels. Results were compared with standard ophthalmic examination, including fundus photography and fluorescein angiography, when indicated.
   
   Results: Projection OCT fundus imaging enhanced the visualization of outer retinal ... (Read Full Article)
