Abstract
Presentation Description :
Clinical imaging of microglia and macrophages are the next frontier in assessing in vivo cellular activity in a variety of ocular pathologies. Recent advances in commercial OCT devices have enabled high resolution enface imaging capable of distinguishing key morphological features of resident immune cells (so called macrophage-like cells) at the vitreous-retinal interface. The speed and patient-friendly design of clinical OCT platforms along with the simplicity of post-imaging processing algorithms offer new opportunities for clinical studies of cellular dynamics across the gamut of disease entities. Processing techniques, clinical examples and preliminary studies will be presented.
