The Art of Ocular Imaging conference returns to Sydney on 8 June. Founded by senior orthoptist Mara Giribaldi, who is assisted by colleague Christopher Hodge, the conference aims to highlight the importance of accuracy and competency in imaging while also developing practitioners’ understanding of the subtleties of disease diagnosis through the application of imaging via case-based examples.
“Ophthalmic imaging is central to the diagnosis of ocular disease. It is essential that ophthalmic imagers remain up to date with available diagnostic instruments and equipped to achieve the highest quality images in order to facilitate the most accurate diagnoses,” Ms Giribaldi said.
The conference will comprise three one-hour masterclasses run twice concurrently on 8 May in and around two sessions of presentations on imaging for disease and in practice
The conference will comprise three one-hour masterclasses run twice concurrently on 8 May in and around two sessions of presentations on imaging for disease and in practice, on specific topics including retinal disease, glaucoma, paediatrics, artificial intelligence and telemedicine and more.
The three masterclasses are:
Heidelberg Engineering: understanding and using the Anterion in practice,
Optos: ultra widefield imaging for early detection and treatment of various ocular conditions, and
ZEISS: optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography: the intricacies of OCT and OCT-A scans and how to analyse these images with confidence to identify common pathologies and understand the significance of various imaging features.
With sufficient interest, the three masterclasses will also be offered on Sunday 9 June.
The Art of Ocular Imaging conference will conclude with the annual prize for the best submitted ophthalmic image.
