Abstract
The goal of this review is to describe the more commonly used imaging techniques and their use to identify causes of vision loss, extent of disease, and distinctive patterns associated with various causes of posterior uveitis. Distinctive patterns seen with new imaging techniques and applications are being described. Ophthalmic CT, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and others are demonstrating inflammation and pathology in posterior uveitis. As our experience grows with these modalities, they are being used increasingly in the diagnosis and management of patients with posterior uveitis. This review familiarizes the ophthalmologist with imaging in patients with inflammatory disorders of the retina and choroid. These modalities can help with the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients with uveitis.
