Clinical applications of AS-OCT for corneal disease During ophthalmic examination physicians were previously using a slit lamp and gonioscope to assess the anterior structure of the eye. New imaging technology is enabling us to visualize these anterior structures with micron level precision. This article illustrates how new technology; particularly AS-OCT has been advancing ophthalmic diagnosis.
Exploring Advances in OCT Imaging The days of looking into a patient's eye with a direct ophthalmoscope and straining to discern the details of pathology will soon be behind us. With the growing prominence of OCT technology, we can clearly see and evaluate 3-D image changes at the foveal level--2 to3 ?m in size-- after a scan that takes only a few seconds to acquire. As OCT is embraced, it is important that to understand all of the capabilities it has to offer and this paper tackles that assignment.

There are 3 types of search. Please only use one option at a time.
1) Build a boolean search string.
Ensure that document matches include...
2) Search for a phrase:
3) Search on part of a word:
Information on how to use Search
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
AND example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
OR example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
NOT example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.
