Overview

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is a novel, non-invasive, dyeless imaging modality that has emerged as an indispensable tool in the fields of optometry and ophthalmology. OCTA provides three-dimensional volumetric images of the retinal and choroidal vasculature by using a motion-contrast decorrelation algorithm. This cutting-edge imaging technology has widespread clinical utility as a non-invasive alternative for visualizing microvasculature in detail, but there are no textbooks dedicated to its use and the interpretation of scans. To fill this need, Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Atlas: A Case Study Approach, by Dr. Julie A. Rodman, is a richly illustrated, practical guide to OCTA. It provides detailed information on the fundamental principles behind the technology, as well as clinical applications critical for accurate interpretation. The first section of the book discusses the principles behind OCTA and provides an introduction into the interpretation of OCTA images, including a chapter devoted to terminology. The remainder of the book provides detailed analysis of a myriad of inner and outer retinal disorders, including diseases of the optic nerve head. Most importantly for the clinical setting, the cases are presented with numerous images and a multitude of arrows and callouts to assist in the recognition of various clinical findings. Case examples include: Vascular Occlusive Disease Pigment Epithelial Detachment Choroidal Neovascular Membrane Diabetic Retinopathy Optic Disc Edema Dr. Rodman’s emphasis on the clinical use of OCTA technology and step-by-step interpretation of images makes Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Atlas: A Case Study Approach a must-have resource for physicians, residents, students, and ophthalmic technicians looking for a simple, comprehensive guide to OCTA.

She has taught in the Optometry Theory and Methods Laboratory and currently serves as the Chief of the Broward Eye Care Institute in downtown Fort Lauderdale. She has been the recipient of numerous teaching awards, including the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Clinical Precepting and Preceptor of the Year. Dr. Rodman has served as Residency Education Coordinator where she was responsible for arranging the didactic assignments for the Resident Conference Series as well as interdisciplinary presentations. Dr. Rodman is a residency supervisor and mentors the residents with grand rounds presentations, posters, and publications. Dr. Rodman is actively involved in the residency program and has served on the Residency Advisory Committee as well as the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry Residency Affairs Committee. Dr. Rodman has authored multiple posters at the American Academy of Optometry, American Optometric Association, Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Southeast Conference of Optometry, and Heart of America on various ocular disease topics. She became a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry in 2007. She serves as a poster reviewer for the multi-media session at Southeast Conference of Optometry and is a reviewer for multiple index medicus journals as well. Dr. Rodman is a member of the American Optometric Association, Florida Optometric Association, and Optometric Retina Society. Dr. Rodman is a member of the Optovue Advisory Board, where she serves as a lecturer and consultant. She holds her Oral Pharmaceuticals Certification and is Laser Certified as well. Her scholarly interests include retinal disease, optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, and diseases of the vitreo-retinal interface. She was the principal investigator on a multi-center, nationwide investigation into the prevalence of vitreomacular adhesion in patients 40 years of age and older.
