Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Medicina editorial team, we are delighted to present the Special Issue “‘Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Clinic Diagnosis, Therapy and Surgery”.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, high-resolution biomedical optical imaging technology that can detect the internal microstructure of biological tissues in vivo. Closely mimicking histopathology, OCT imaging provides tissue details. Being non-invasive, OCT provides an opportunity for serial imaging during follow-up visits.

OCT technology has undergone several improvements, such as spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT), swept source OCT (SS-OCT), enhanced depth imaging (EDI-OCT), wide field OCT, intraoperative OCT, OCT angiography (OCTA) and adaptive optics OCT, whereas anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) helps in in both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of parameters in anterior eye pathologies. Despite this revolution in ophthalmic imaging, numerous challenges are emerging, such as the place of artificial intelligence in OCT.

This Special Issue aims to present selected original research papers, case reports and review articles that discuss the present clinical and intraoperative applications of ophthalmic imaging, recent advances and potential future developments. You are welcome to submit manuscripts regarding all kinds of OCT that improve the differential diagnosis as well as treatment of various corneal, retinal and choroidal disorders.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background and Objectives: Early diagnosis of the exudative form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is very important for a timely first treatment, which is directly related to the preservation of functional visual acuity over a long period. The goal of this paper was to examine the correlation between the double-layer sign (DLS) and the presence of non-exudative macular neovascularization (MNV). Materials and Methods: Our research included 60 patients with AMD, exudative in one eye and non-exudative in the other eye. We analyzed only the non-exudative form using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). The patients were classified into three groups, depending on the duration of the disease (<2 years, 2 to 5 years, >5 years). The onset of the disease was deemed the moment of establishing a diagnosis of exudative AMD in one eye. We defined the presence or absence of a DLS using OCT and the presence of non-exudative MNV using OCT-A, both on 3 × 3 mm and 6 × 6 mm sections. DLS was used as a projection biomarker for non-exudative MNV, with the aim of establishing a rapid diagnosis and achieving early treatment of the disease. Results: We found that there was a statistically significant correlation between the DLS diagnosed using OCT and non-exudative MNV diagnosed by OCT-A for both 3 × 3 mm (p < 0.001) and 6 × 6 mm (p < 0.001) imaging. There was a statistically significant difference between the frequencies of both DLS and MNV in Groups I and III on both 3 × 3 and 6 × 6 mm imaging. A statistically significant difference was also noted in the frequencies of DLS and MNV on 6 × 6 mm imaging, but not on 3 × 3 mm imaging, between Groups I and II. No differences were found between the frequencies of DLS and MNV between Groups II and III. Conclusions: The DLS on OCT can be used as a projection biomarker to assess the presence of a non-exudative MNV. Full article
