Abstract
Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) en face mode provides a coronal view of the posterior segment at different depths. This mode provided a way to explore the fundus similar to that of a routine slit-lamp examination, or traditional fundus photographs or angiography. It supplies more information than conventional cross-sectional imaging, allowing the physician to make a rapid diagnosis across the macula with a full macular view at different depths, which gives a three-dimensional perspective. When B-scan and en face mode are used together, they may provide additional anatomic insight into diseases in a non-invasive manner.
