【 摘 要 】

The OCT is a noninvasive and noncontact exam capable to evaluate the retina and optic nerve. The OCT images provide information of the constitution of the retina and its structural integrity in vivo, providing high-resolution images that resemble optical microscopy. The objective of this paper was to describe and document the use of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) in dogs. It was possible differentiate the retinal layers of healthy dogs and compare them with dogs with progressive retinal atrophy which showed altered stratification and significant reduce of the layers. In cases of retinal detachment was observed separation of neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium, and the presence of intrarretinal exudates. Thus, the OCT was effective in the diagnosis of retinopathy.
