2. Rationale and Development of an OCT-Based Method for Detection of Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy
  
  Explore LWW Online Feb 28 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  A specific, sensitive and intersubjectively verifiable definition of disease for clinical care and research remains an important unmet need in the field of glaucoma. Using an iterative, consensus-building approach and employing pilot data, an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based method to aid in the detection of glaucomatous optic neuropathy was sought to address this challenge. To maximize the chance of success, we utilized all available information from the OCT circle and cube scans, applied both quantitative and semi-quantitative data analysis methods, and aimed to limit the use of perimetry to cases where it is absolutely necessary. The outcome of this ...

3. Detecting glaucoma with only OCT: Implications for the clinic, research, screening, and AI development
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Feb 26 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  A method for detecting glaucoma based only on optical coherence tomography (OCT) is of potential value for routine clinical decisions, for inclusion criteria for research studies and trials, for large-scale clinical screening, as well as for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) decision models. Recent work suggests that the OCT probability (p-) maps, also known as deviation maps, can play a key role in an OCT-based method. However, artifacts seen on the p-maps of healthy control eyes can resemble patterns of damage due to glaucoma. We document in section 2 that these glaucoma-like artifacts are relatively common and are probably ...

4. Detecting Progression in Advanced Glaucoma: Are Optical Coherence Tomography Global Metrics Viable Measures?
  
  Explore LWW Online May 12 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Significance: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) summary measures have been suggested as a way to detect progression in eyes with advanced glaucoma. Here, we show that these measures have serious flaws largely due to segmentation errors. However, inspection of the images and thickness maps can be clinically useful. Purpose: This study aimed to test the hypothesis that recently suggested global OCT measures for detecting progression in eyes with advanced progression are seriously affected by segmentation mistakes and other errors that limit their clinical utility. Methods: Forty-five eyes of 38 patients with a 24-2 mean deviation worse than -12 dB had at ...

8. Did the OCT Show Progression Since the Last Visit?
  
  Explore LWW Online Dec 22 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Identifying progression is of fundamental importance to the management of glaucoma. It is also a challenge. The most sophisticated, and probably the most useful, commercially available clinical tool for identifying progression is the Guided Progression Analysis (GPA), which was initially developed to identify progression using 24-2 visual field tests. More recently it has been extended to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell + inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thicknesses measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, the OCT GPA requires a minimum of 3 tests to determine "possible loss (progression)" and a minimum of 4 tests to determine if the ...

9. Robust and Interpretable Convolutional Neural Networks to Detect Glaucoma in Optical Coherence Tomography Images
  
  Explore IEEE Xplore Dec 9 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Recent studies suggest that deep learning systems can now achieve performance on par with medical experts in diagnosis of disease. A prime example is in the field of ophthalmology, where convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been used to detect retinal and ocular diseases. However, this type of artificial intelligence (AI) has yet to be adopted clinically due to questions regarding robustness of the algorithms to datasets collected at new clinical sites and a lack of explainability of AI-based predictions, especially relative to those of human expert counterparts. In this work, we develop CNN architectures that demonstrate robust detection of glaucoma ...

10. Reasons why OCT Global Circumpapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness is a Poor Measure of Glaucomatous Progression
  
  Explore TVST Journal Nov 6 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose: To assess the effects of local defects, segmentation errors, and improper image alignment on the performance of the commonly used optical coherence tomography (OCT) measure of progression, that is the change in global (average) circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness (ΔG). Methods: One hundred fifty eyes suspected of, or with, early glaucoma had OCT circle and cube scans obtained using eye tracking on two occasions at least 1 year apart. Statistical progression was defined by fixed values of ΔG (3-8 um) and quantile regression. For a reference standard, four authors identified 30 eyes as "likely progressed," and 61 ...

11. Optical Coherence Tomography Can Be Used to Assess Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Damage in Most Eyes With High Myopia
  
  Explore LWW Online Sep 1 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Precis: It is generally assumed that optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) cannot be used to diagnose glaucomatous optic neuropathy ( GON ) in high myopes. However, this study presents evidence that there is sufficient information in OCT scans to allow for accurate diagnosis of GON in most eyes with high myopia . Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that glaucomatous damage can be accurately diagnosed in most high myopes via an assessment of the OCT results. Patients and Methods: One hundred eyes from 60 glaucoma patients or suspects, referred for OCT scans and evaluation, had corrected spherical refractive errors ...
