Optical Coherence Tomography Scan

For my internship at Wake Forest University Eye Center I have been doing Optical Coherence Tomography Scans (OCT). An OCT scans the back of the eye (retina) and measures the thickness of it. It also shows any type of swelling, fluid, or other abnormalities. The top scan is what a more normal eye looks like and the bottom scan shows a patient that has sub-retinal fluid. More to come soon!
