Atlas of Corneal Imaging Kindle Edition

Atlas of Corneal Imaging

By J. Bradley Randleman, Marcony Santhiago, and William J. Dupps Jr

A comprehensive, image-driven reference for mastering corneal imaging across all modern technologies

The Atlas of Corneal Imaging is an authoritative and visually rich guide tailored for ophthalmologists, refractive surgeons, corneal specialists, and trainees. This essential volume explores the full spectrum of corneal imaging—from fundamental interpretation of corneal maps to advanced diagnostic techniques—using over 1,200 high-resolution images and illustrations from a broad array of imaging modalities.

Edited by renowned experts Drs. J. Bradley Randleman, Marcony Santhiago, and William J. Dupps Jr, this atlas provides a unique, side-by-side comparison of how various imaging systems present both normal and pathological corneal conditions. By integrating diverse technologies, it enables practitioners to better understand and recognize subtle findings, regardless of the device used in their practice.

🔍 Key Highlights:

• Device-agnostic learning: Gain insight into how different platforms (e.g., topography, tomography, Scheimpflug imaging, OCT, epithelial mapping) represent the same clinical condition.

• Visual-first approach: Multiple imaging perspectives of the same eye condition help readers develop a complete, comparative understanding of corneal findings.

• Clinical applicability: Designed to assist clinicians in recognizing early signs of corneal weakening and pathology across a variety of clinical scenarios.
