Overview

Clinical imaging in ophthalmology refers to the family of non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques used to visualize ocular structures for the diagnosis, staging, and longitudinal monitoring of eye disease. Core modalities include optical coherence tomography (OCT), which generates micron-scale cross-sectional and depth-resolved images of the retina, choroid, and optic nerve head; spectral-domain and enhanced-depth-imaging variants (SD-OCT, EDI-OCT) that resolve the retinal layers and underlying choroidal architecture; fundus photography for documenting the posterior pole; and dye-based angiography such as fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography for mapping retinal and choroidal vascular perfusion, leakage, and neovascularization. These methods quantify parameters of clinical consequence, including ganglion cell layer thickness, macular edema, choroidal hyperpermeability, and biomarkers of exudative and non-exudative chorioretinal pathology. Imaging supports differential diagnosis in inflammatory choroiditis, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vascular disorders, and it furnishes objective endpoints for treatment response. Cross-sectional and volumetric imaging increasingly complements functional testing, enabling structure-function correlation and earlier detection of subclinical change. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research applying these imaging modalities to the evaluation and management of chorioretinal and optic nerve disease, including studies that use high-resolution OCT to characterize macular and choroidal findings.
