Full course description
Description
This training explores the interconnection between eye and brain health, emphasizing diagnostic imaging techniques and conditions affecting the optic nerve and retina. Topics include idiopathic intracranial hypertension, optic nerve stroke, and advanced imaging technologies used in terrestrial and space environments.
Target Audience
Ophthalmologists, neurologists, radiologists, space medicine researchers, and healthcare professionals managing eye-brain-related conditions.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this training, you will be able to:
- Explain the significance of the eye-brain connection in diagnosing systemic and neurological conditions.
- Identify the uses of imaging techniques such as OCT, OCT angiography, and fundus autofluorescence in diagnosing optic nerve and retinal conditions.
- Assess the impact of conditions like idiopathic intracranial hypertension and optic nerve stroke on vision and systemic health.
- Evaluate the challenges of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) and its implications for long-duration space travel.
