Systematic approaches for reviewing neuro-imaging scans in ophthalmology

Digit J Ophthalmol. 2017 Sep 19;23(3):50-59. doi: 10.5693/djo.03.2016.05.001. eCollection 2017.

Abstract

Neuroimaging is an important tool in ophthalmology, but many ophthalmologists are uncomfortable evaluating actual scans. Unfortunately, exclusive reliance on a radiologist's report can lead to diagnostic and management errors. We outline a methodology for equipping ophthalmologists with the skills necessary to read neuroimaging studies with respect to specific clinical questions.
