Written by authors from one of Asia's premier ophthalmology institutes the purpose of this atlas is to provide ophthalmologists and other physicians concerned with eye diseases with a carefully selected collection of quality illustrations that review the spectrum of diseases commonly seen in Neuro-ophthalmic practice

In this last two decades, there have been intense revolutionary changes in the field of imaging and their applications
in various aspects of ophthalmology and particularly in neuro-ophthalmology. This book aims to cover the important
aspects of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of various ophthalmic
diseases. Since there is a relative lack of a specific ophthalmology textbook or atlas that deals with CT and MRI
aspects in ophthalmology, and we have enormous data and collection of images of various common and relatively
rare clinical conditions, we decided to put everything together to guide all practicing ophthalmologists, neurologists
and radiologists in their day-to-day practice.
The atlas consists of extensive collection of CT and MRI images of various ocular, orbital and neuro-ophthalmic
disorders. It also deals with most of the neurological diseases with ophthalmic manifestations with vivid portrayal
of their imaging characteristics. All the clinical images used in this atlas belong to patients seen only in our organization
(Sankara Nethralaya: A Unit of Medical Research Foundation), which is a tertiary referral ophthalmic institution.
It can be used as a reference book for undergraduates, ophthalmology, radiology and neurology postgraduates.
The atlas also covers the recent advances in imaging, particularly in the techniques and hardware of magnetic
resonance imaging. Imaging studies are constantly undergoing refinement in technology (both software and
hardware), thereby enhancing the imaging quality and reporting. It is, therefore, of paramount importance that
clinicians and radiologists keep themselves updated on all the latest developments in these fields. It has been our
constant effort in the atlas to include, wherever, possible the latest updates in the field of imaging pertaining to
ophthalmology.
