Imaging Applications in Ocular Trauma

In vivo assessment with imaging of the detailed structures of the eye would significantly improve our understanding of the pathogenesis and provide useful information for diagnosing and managing many eye diseases. Optical techniques, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, fluorescein angiography, ultrawide-field confocal ophthalmoscopy, ultrasound techniques, and radiologic imaging techniques, have been applied in ocular trauma. Understanding the principles of the techniques and their advantages, disadvantages, applications, and contraindications is important when using them in the management of patients in clinics.
