Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, easily accessible imaging technique that enables diagnosing several retinal diseases at various stages of development. This review discusses early OCT findings as non-invasive imaging biomarkers for predicting the future development of selected retinal diseases, with emphasis on age-related macular degeneration, macular telangiectasia, and drug-induced maculopathies. Practitioners, by being able to predict the development of many conditions and start treatment at the earliest stage, may thus achieve better treatment outcomes.
光学相干断层扫描(OCT)是一种非侵入性、易于使用的成像技术,能够在多种视网膜疾病的不同发展阶段进行诊断。本综述讨论了早期OCT检查结果作为预测特定视网膜疾病未来发展的非侵入性成像生物标志物,重点关注年龄相关性黄斑变性、黄斑毛细血管扩张症和药物性黄斑病变。通过能够预测多种疾病的发展并尽早开始治疗,从业者可能因此获得更好的治疗效果。
