International Retinal Imaging Symposium (IntRIS 2018)

International Retinal Imaging Symposium (IntRIS 2018) is organized by David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and will be held on Feb 20, 2018 at California NanoSystems Institute, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is Ophthalmologists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 8.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Course Description:
The International Retinal Imaging Symposium (IntRIS 2018) will feature a series of lectures that will focus on the latest developments in retinal imaging, including adaptive optics, fundus autofluorescence, ultra-widefield imaging, spectral domain and swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography. This conference will include a full day of lectures by many of the world’s experts in retinal imaging who will speak on recent innovations that have occurred in this rapidly advancing field.

Our world-renowned faculty will aim to familiarize course participants with the newest evolving technologies and will guide and instruct our registrants in the application of these advanced systems and in the interpretation of novel imaging findings. This will help our participants better manage their patients with macular and retinal disease and achieve better patient outcomes in their practices. We welcome your participation at IntRIS 2018 which promises to provide insight and understanding in retinal imaging and showcase the integral importance of innovative retinal imaging in the evaluation and management of retinal disease.

Conference Objectives are :
• Integrate advanced OCT imaging, including en face OCT and OCT angiography, into clinical practice to better diagnose and manage patients with macular disease
• Integrate advanced retinal imaging including fundus autofluorescence and wide field angiography into clinical practice to better evaluate and manage patients with retinal disease
• Apply novel imaging systems including adaptive optics to better understand the mechanisms of macular disease
• Gain knowledge of the new imaging findings of macular diseases including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy as well as other less common retinal disorders
• Gain knowledge of the anatomy of the retinal capillary system and its importance in macular diseases using advanced retinal imaging
• Gain knowledge of the Müller cell and its importance in macular diseases using advanced retinal imaging
• Apply advanced retinal imaging in the evaluation of choroidal tumors
