Activity Outline
Centre for Eye Health (CFEH) has been operating, in part, as
an imaging centre since 2009. Each year, approximately 70 final year optometry
students from the University of New South Wales undertake a clinical rotation
at CFEH, working alongside the team of optometrists to capture images and
scans, mostly on elderly patients.
This article takes learnings from these many years of
imaging and teaching to provide advice and generalised troubleshooting tips and
tricks for acquiring optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans in more
challenging circumstances. The ultimate goal is to reduce operator and
patient-dependant errors, and obtain images and scans that clearly define
present pathology for the sake of diagnosis, monitoring and management.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the importance of good signal strength and high scan quality to facilitate accurate image interpretation,
- Understand when and why disabling ‘eye tracking’ can be beneficial to image capture in some patient cohorts, and how to achieve good scans,
- Identify the most appropriate scan for imaging particular disease conditions, retinal locations, and for specific patient cohorts, and
- Know how to troubleshoot and overcome imaging artefacts.
