IDW Series 2025 (Imaging #1): OCT Survival Guide
Date: 11/06/2025 ()
Venue: Online, AUSTRALIA

Activity Outline
This workshop explores the fundamental optics behind OCT and how technological advances - from time-domain to swept-source, have shaped modern imaging. By understanding how light interacts with tissue and how images are generated, optometrists can better interpret pathology and how to use imaging artefacts to their advantage. The talk links optical principles to real clinical examples, explaining why certain features appear the way they do on OCT.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the fundamental imaging principles of OCT including axial and lateral resolution, signal generation, and depth profiling
- Understand how ocular and optical factors can influence OCT image quality and interpretation
- Correlate anatomical structures and retinal layers with OCT image cross-sections, applying knowledge of optics to refine interpretation
