La Tomografía de Coherencia Óptica (OCT) para el seguimiento de algunos tumores
Las nuevas técnicas de imagen permiten ver estructuras que hasta ahora pasaban desapercibidas.
Un ejemplo es este caso de una paciente con un tumor del nervio óptico llamado osteoma de coroides. Se trata de un tumor benigno que aparece sobre todo en mujeres en la edad media de la vida.
Veamos a continuación algunas imágenes obtenidas con la Tomografía de Coherencia Óptica (OCT) y el retinografo.
