Selected clinical comparisons of spectral domain and time domain optical coherence tomography.
The authors report four cases where spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaged pathology not captured by time domain optical coherence tomography (TD-OCT). These cases include one of angioid streaks, two of juxtafoveal telangiectasia, and one of age-related macular degeneration. In each case, the improved images provided by SD-OCT changed either the management of the patient or the counseling of their disease process.
