Reviews
“This handbook is clearly designed to help operate, trouble shoot and give information on commonly visualized pathological states on optical coherence tomography (OCT). . . The book is light and compact and can be easily carried around. Since it is designed to mostly help in operating the instrument, it is an ideal book for technicians and photographers who are able to find the resource they are looking for, given that the book only has three clearly defined chapters. It is also useful for clinicians who are new to the technology in understanding the working of OCT and helps in interpreting disease states. . . In summary, Everyday OCT: A Handbook for Clinicians and Technicians beholds its name in being a compact manual for the setup, operation, and interpreting OCT images.”
— Anita Agarwal, MD, American Journal of Ophthalmology
"The photographs and illustrations, which are of excellent quality, complement the text. . . I anticipate that this handbook will be useful to both technicians and physicians who use OCT. The book should be kept next to the OCT for reference where it can be used every day."
— G. Richard Cohen, MD, Ocular Surgery News
