Preface
Over the past decade optical coherence tomography (OCT) has developed from a research instrument to a clinical tool without which many clinicians will not want to do. This book, Optical Coherence Tomography in Multiple Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, takes into account the need for up-to-date information on current research in multiple sclerosis subgroups and multiple sclerosis associated optic neuritis. The assessment for macular edema has become obligatory for many patients suffering from multiple sclerosis who take disease modifying treatment. This book comes in handy if you want to learn how to use or interpret retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT). The book was predominantly written for readers with a neurological or neuro-ophthalmological background. There are parts of the book that are of value for OCT technicians. Those involved in designing and conducting clinical trials will find practical and theoretical information in a clear structured format supported by simple flowcharts and addressing current regulatory authorities’ standard
