The use of optical coherence tomography to determine the severity of radiation retinopathy

Abstract:
Radiation retinopathy can present many years after the application of either brachytherapy or teletherapy to the head or neck. If severe, it drastically reduces visual acuity due to macular ischemia or edema. This is the first article, to the author's knowledge, to document the use of optical coherence tomography in the assessment of radiation-induced maculopathy.
