Title
Controversies in Retinal Imaging: Answer the Unanswered
Summary
Retinal Imaging Has Revolutionised the Diagnosis and Management of Retinal Diseases, Offering High-resolution Structural and Vascular Details. However, These Advancements Come with a Growing Challenge of Ambiguities, Ranging from the Interpretation of Doubtful Imaging Findings to the Reliability of Emerging Imaging Biomarkers and the Clinical Value of Newer Technologies, Such as Widefield Octa and Artificial Intelligence-driven Analytics. This Session Will Explore These Contentious Issues in Retinal Imaging, Critically Appraising Current Evidence and Highlighting Areas Where Consensus Is Lacking. Experts Will Debate Imaging Thresholds for Diagnosis, the Role of Multimodal Imaging in Uncertain Cases, the Pitfalls of Over-reliance on Technology, and Future Directions Where Imaging May Challenge Traditional Clinical Paradigms. the Session Would Be Formatted as a " Panel Symposium with Case-based Discussions and Expert Debates".
