1. Normative Data and Conversion Equation for Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography in an International Healthy Control Cohort
  
  Explore LWW Online Sep 2 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Background: Spectral-domain (SD-) optical coherence tomography (OCT) can reliably measure axonal (peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer [pRNFL]) and neuronal (macular ganglion cell + inner plexiform layer [GCIPL]) thinning in the retina. Measurements from 2 commonly used SD-OCT devices are often pooled together in multiple sclerosis (MS) studies and clinical trials despite software and segmentation algorithm differences; however, individual pRNFL and GCIPL thickness measurements are not interchangeable between devices. In some circumstances, such as in the absence of a consistent OCT segmentation algorithm across platforms, a conversion equation to transform measurements between devices may be useful to facilitate pooling of data. The ...

3. The Role of Optical Coherence Tomography Criteria and Machine Learning in Multiple Sclerosis and Optic Neuritis Diagnosis
  
  Explore Neurology Jul 1 2022 Neurology , Ophthalmology
  
  Background and objectives: Recent studies have suggested that inter-eye differences (IEDs) in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) or ganglion cell+inner plexiform (GCIPL) thickness by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) may identify people with a history of unilateral optic neuritis (ON). However, this requires further validation. Machine learning classification may be useful for validating thresholds for OCT IEDs and for examining added utility for visual function tests, such as low-contrast letter acuity (LCLA), in the diagnosis of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and for unilateral ON history. Methods: Participants were from 11 sites within the International Multiple Sclerosis Visual ...

  Early detection and monitoring are critical to the diagnosis and management of glaucoma, a progressive optic neuropathy that causes irreversible blindness. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a commonly utilized imaging modality that aids in the detection and monitoring of structural glaucomatous damage. Since its inception in 1991, OCT has progressed through multiple iterations, from time-domain OCT, to spectral-domain OCT, to swept-source OCT, all of which have progressively improved the resolution and speed of scans. Even newer technological advancements and OCT applications, such as adaptive optics, visible-light OCT, and OCT-angiography, have enriched the use of OCT in the evaluation of ...

8. Adaptive spectroscopic visible-light optical coherence tomography for human retinal oximetry
  
  Explore bioRxiv.org May 30 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Alterations in the retinal oxygen saturation (sO2) and oxygen consumption are associated with nearly all blinding diseases. A technology that can accurately measure retinal sO2 has the potential to improve ophthalmology care significantly. Recently, visible-light optical coherence tomography (vis-OCT) showed great promise for noninvasive, depth-resolved measurement of retinal sO2 as well as ultra-high resolution anatomical imaging. We discovered that spectral contaminants (SC), if not correctly removed, could lead to incorrect vis-OCT sO2 measurements. There are two main types of SCs associated with vis-OCT systems and eye conditions, respectively. Their negative influence on sO2 accuracy is amplified in human eyes due ...

11. Attention-guided 3D-CNN Framework for Glaucoma Detection and Structural-Functional Association using Volumetric Images
  
  Explore IEEE Xplore Aug 7 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  The direct analysis of 3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) volumes enables deep learning models (DL) to learn spatial structural information and discover new bio-markers that are relevant to glaucoma. Downsampling 3D input volumes is the state-of-art solution to accommodate for the limited number of training volumes as well as the available computing resources. However, this limits the network's ability to learn from small retinal structures in OCT volumes. In this paper, our goal is to improve the performance by providing guidance to DL model during training in order to learn from finer ocular structures in 3D OCT volumes. Therefore ...

12. Dueling Deep Q-Network for Unsupervised Inter-frame Eye Movement Correction in Optical Coherence Tomography Volumes
  
  Explore arxiv.org Jul 12 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  In optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes of retina, the sequential acquisition of the individual slices makes this modality prone to motion artifacts, misalignments between adjacent slices being the most noticeable. Any distortion in OCT volumes can bias structural analysis and influence the outcome of longitudinal studies. On the other hand, presence of speckle noise that is characteristic of this imaging modality, leads to inaccuracies when traditional registration techniques are employed. Also, the lack of a well-defined ground truth makes supervised deep-learning techniques ill-posed to tackle the problem. In this paper, we tackle these issues by using deep reinforcement learning to ...

  Explore Home - Springer Oct 15 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  The large size of raw 3D optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes poses challenges for deep learning methods as it cannot be accommodated on a single GPU in its original resolution. The direct analysis of these volumes however, provides advantages such as circumventing the need for the segmentation of retinal structures. Previously, a deep learning (DL) approach was proposed for the detection of glaucoma directly from 3D OCT volumes, where the volumes were significantly downsampled first. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end DL model for the detection of glaucoma that doubles the number of input voxels of the previously proposed ...

16. Inference of visual field test performance from OCT volumes using deep learning
  
  Explore arxiv.org Aug 10 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  Visual field tests (VFT) are pivotal for glaucoma diagnosis and conducted regularly to monitor disease progression. Here we address the question to what degree aggregate VFT measurements such as Visual Field Index (VFI) and Mean Deviation (MD) can be inferred from Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans of the Optic Nerve Head (ONH) or the macula. Accurate inference of VFT measurements from OCT could reduce examination time and cost. We propose a novel 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for this task and compare its accuracy with classical machine learning (ML) algorithms trained on common, segmentation-based OCT, features employed for glaucoma diagnostics ...

  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) based measurements of retinal layer thickness, such as the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and the ganglion cell with inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) are commonly employed for the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma. Previously, machine learning techniques have relied on segmentation-based imaging features such as the peripapillary RNFL thickness and the cup-to-disc ratio. Here, we propose a deep learning technique that classifies eyes as healthy or glaucomatous directly from raw, unsegmented OCT volumes of the optic nerve head (ONH) using a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). We compared the accuracy of this technique with various feature-based ...

  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Nov 17 2018
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the retina are a powerful tool for diagnosing and monitoring eye disease. However, they are plagued by speckle noise, which reduces image quality and reliability of assessment. This paper introduces a novel speckle reduction method inspired by the recent successes of deep learning in medical imaging. We present two versions of the network to reflect the needs and preferences of different end-users. Specifically, we train a convolution neural network to denoise cross-sections from OCT volumes of healthy eyes using either (1) mean-squared error, or (2) a generative adversarial network (GAN) with Wasserstein distance and ...

24. Optic Nerve Head Measurements With Optical Coherence Tomography: A Phantom-Based Study Reveals Differences Among Clinical Devices
  
  Explore IOVS Journal Jul 14 2016 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose : Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can monitor for glaucoma by measuring dimensions of the optic nerve head (ONH) cup and disc. Multiple clinical studies have shown that different OCT devices yield different estimates of retinal dimensions. We developed phantoms mimicking ONH morphology as a new way to compare ONH measurements from different clinical OCT devices. Methods : Three phantoms were fabricated to model the ONH: One normal and two with glaucomatous anatomies. Phantoms were scanned with Stratus, RTVue, and Cirrus clinical devices, and with a laboratory OCT system as a reference. We analyzed device-reported ONH measurements of cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and ...
