Sankara Nethralaya , Atlas of Imaging in Ophthalmology , by Ambika Selvakumar , Veena Noronha and Padmaja Minakshi Sundaram

 Description

This book, Atlas of Imaging in Ophthalmology, deals with imaging in ophthalmology. In the last two decades, there have been intense revolutionary changes in the field of imaging and their applications in various aspects of ophthalmology and particularly in neuro-ophthalmology. This book aims to cover the important aspects of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of various ophthalmic diseases. The atlas consists of extensive collection of CT and MRI images of various ocular, orbital and neuro-ophthalmic disorders. It also deals with most of the neurological diseases with ophthalmic manifestations with vivid portrayal of their imaging characteristics. The atlas also covers the recent advances in imaging, particularly in the techniques and hardware of MRI. Imaging studies are constantly undergoing refinement in technology, both software and hardware, thereby enhancing the imaging quality and reporting. It is, therefore, of paramount importance that clinicians and radiologists keep themselves updated on all the latest developments in these fields.
