Abstract
Adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) provides depth resolved images of the retina with cellular resolution [1, 2]. So far, various cell types have been visualized with this technique including rod photoreceptors [3], retinal pigment epithelium cells [3, 4] or Ganglion cells [5, 6]. However, a translation of this technology into clinical settings remains challenging as AOOCT systems are quite bulky and complex to operate. In addition, the clinical benefit of AO-OCT imaging has not yet been demonstrated as especially elderly patients are difficult to image. This presentation gives an overview over the performance of AO-OCT technology in a clinical setting.
