Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Medicina editorial team, we are delighted to present the Special Issue “‘Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Clinic Diagnosis, Therapy and Surgery”.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, high-resolution biomedical optical imaging technology that can detect the internal microstructure of biological tissues in vivo. Closely mimicking histopathology, OCT imaging provides tissue details. Being non-invasive, OCT provides an opportunity for serial imaging during follow-up visits.
OCT technology has undergone several improvements, such as spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT), swept source OCT (SS-OCT), enhanced depth imaging (EDI-OCT), wide field OCT, intraoperative OCT, OCT angiography (OCTA) and adaptive optics OCT, whereas anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) helps in in both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of parameters in anterior eye pathologies. Despite this revolution in ophthalmic imaging, numerous challenges are emerging, such as the place of artificial intelligence in OCT.
This Special Issue aims to present selected original research papers, case reports and review articles that discuss the present clinical and intraoperative applications of ophthalmic imaging, recent advances and potential future developments. You are welcome to submit manuscripts regarding all kinds of OCT that improve the differential diagnosis as well as treatment of various corneal, retinal and choroidal disorders.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
