Three-dimensional computed tomographic imaging.

Abstract

Recent developments in imaging techniques now allow reconstruction of actual three-dimensional images from computed tomographic data. This article discusses the basic concepts involved in three-dimensional imaging and reviews its potential as a diagnostic and management tool for the clinical ophthalmologist. New computer techniques allow review of actual three-dimensional images in both static and dynamic formats. This can allow the clinician to define more accurately a normal and pathologic anatomy involving skeletal structures in particular.

Uses and complications of mitomycin C in ophthalmology.

Mitomycin C is a chemotherapeutic agent that acts by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Its use and application in ophthalmology has been increasing in recent years because of its modulatory effects on wound healing. Current applications include pterygium surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal refractive surgery, cicatricial eye disease, conjunctival neoplasia and allergic eye disease. Although it has been used successfully in these conditions, it has also been associated with significant complications. This article reviews the current trends and uses of mitomycin C in the eye and its reported complications.
