Diagnostic Imaging Procedures

  • Chapter

Abstract

Imaging studies are often a part of the diagnostic evaluation of uveitis patients. Combined with clinical findings and laboratory tests, imaging studies can help determine the etiology of uveitis and direct systemic therapy. Advancements in imaging technology have improved our ability to detect findings more accurately and at an earlier stage of disease.
