Lecture: Red, Green, and Yellow Disease: OCT Artifacts in Retinal Imaging

Since the first retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) images were published in 1993, OCT has played an integral role in the diagnosis and management of retinal diseases. OCT can be invaluable in retinal practice, however, artifacts can easily occur and failure to recognize them may lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect management of these disease entities.
