Opis

Choroidal Disorders provides an overview on various chorioretinal disorders with a special emphasis on choroidal imaging. As our understanding of the choroid has significantly improved with the development of advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its role in posterior segment diseases is gaining new significance, this book focuses on the related improvements, diagnostic capabilities, management and prognosis of various chorioretinal disorders. It covers conventional techniques, such as ultrasonography and indocyanine green angiography as well as the most advanced techniques, including enhanced depth imaging OCT, swept source OCT, and OCT angiography.

• Concise overview of various chorioretinal disorders, with special emphasis on choroidal imaging
• Written for practitioners and researchers in sensory systems (vision), ophthalmologists, and retina specialists
• Covers the most advanced imaging techniques in choroidal disorders, such as enhanced depth imaging OCT, swept source OCT, and OCT angiography

He completed a clinical vitreo-retina fellowship from Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, India and was an International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) fellow at Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Switzerland, in 2009. He was previously a Clinical Instructor at the Jacobs Retina Center at Shiley Eye Center, University of California, San Diego. His areas of interest are macular disorders and recent imaging techniques. He has published more than 470 articles in peer-reviewed journals with a focus in the field of choroid. He is the editor of four books and is on the reviewing boards of journals including Science Translational Medicine and The Lancet. He is also on the editorial board of several journals including American Journal of Ophthalmology. He has won several national and international awards. Dr. Ruiz-Medrano works as a Retina & Oncology Fellow at Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland. He obtained his Degree in Medicine from the Autónoma University of Madrid, Spain in 2011. He completed his residency in Ophthalmology at Clínico San Carlos University Hospital in Madrid and was awarded his European Board of Ophthalmology Diploma in 2016. An active researcher, he has published investigation papers in peer-reviewed high impact journals and he has authored several chapters in international books. He has received investigation grants and prizes from the Spanish Retina & Vitreous Society, Rementería Foundation and Castroviejo Ophthalmic Research Institute. His research interests include advanced retinal and choroidal image analysis, and he is currently working on a PhD on the study of the normal choroid using Swept-Source optical coherence tomography.
