Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionised clinical ophthalmology. The translation of OCT into the operating room is a natural next step given its high-resolution anatomic information. Contrast agents and enhancement have significantly improved the diagnostic capabilities of numerous imaging modalities

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of triamcinolone vs. dexamethasone used in transforaminal epidural steroid injections for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with cervical radiculopathy who underwent cervical transforaminal epidural steroid
