Optical coherence tomography in pediatric ophthalmology: current roles and future directions
Abstract:
The application of existing optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology to the pediatric population is limited in both the design specification of the device and its hardware. However, the potential of OCT in the pediatric population has not been fully realized. The authors review the literature, highlighting the currently available spectral-domain OCT technology and summarizing the reported normal pediatric OCT parameters for retinal nerve fiber layer and macular thickness. They also review the pediatric ophthalmological conditions in which OCT has been used and discuss advancements in OCT design and their potential applications to the pediatric population. The use of OCT in pediatric populations is likely to increase greatly in the coming years, aiding clinical decision-making and providing new insights into pediatric disease pathophysiology.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
