1. Diagnosing Persistent Hyper-Transmission Defects on En Face OCT Imaging of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Jan 31 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose: A training exercise was performed to study the ability of graders to reliably identify precursor lesions to geographic atrophy (GA), known as persistent choroidal hyper-transmission defects (hyperTDs), using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) images from eyes with non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design: Intergrader agreement study PARTICIPANTS: Eleven graders participated in this exercise. Methods: Formal training on how to identify persistent hyperTDs on en face OCT images was provided to the graders. Persistent hyperTDs were defined as bright lesions having a greatest linear dimension (GLD) of at least 250 μm. Training consisted of a tutorial session followed by ...

6. Drusen Volume as a Predictor of Disease Progression in Patients With Late Age-Related Macular Degeneration in the Fellow Eye
  
  Explore IOVS Journal Jul 14 2016 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose : Increasing drusen volume was proposed to be a predictor of disease progression in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In patients with late AMD in one eye, the fellow eyes without neovascularization are known to be at higher risk of developing exudative AMD. We evaluated the relationship between drusen volume in these fellow eyes and their progression to late AMD. Methods : A retrospective analysis included fellow eyes with drusen associated with nonexudative AMD. All eyes with neovascular AMD were treated with intravitreal ranibizumab, aflibercept, and/or bevacizumab and followed for 2 years. All eyes were scanned with the Cirrus HD-OCT using ...

10. Progressive Loss of Retinal Ganglion Cell Function Precedes Structural Loss by Several Years in Glaucoma Suspects
  
  Explore iovs.org Mar 28 2013 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose. We determined the time lag between loss of retinal ganglion cell function and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Methods. Glaucoma suspects were followed for at least four years. Patients underwent pattern electroretinography (PERG), optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the RNFL, and standard automated perimetry testing at 6-month intervals. Comparisons were made between changes in all testing modalities. To compare PERG and OCT measurements on a normalized scale, we calculated the dynamic range of PERG amplitude and RNFL thickness. The time lag between function and structure was defined as the difference in time-to-criterion loss between PERG amplitude and RNFL ...

11. Comparison of Geographic Atrophy Measurements from the OCT Fundus Image and the Sub-RPE Slab Image
  
  Explore Healio.com Mar 22 2013 Ophthalmology
  
  PURPOSE: To compare two different approaches to measuring areas of geographic atrophy (GA) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: Fifty eyes with GA were imaged with an SD-OCT instrument. OCT fundus images and sub– retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) slab images were generated. Three graders manually drew the GA boundaries on both en face images. An automated algorithm was used to segment the GA boundaries from the sub-RPE slabs. RESULTS: The agreement between the three manual measurements on both OCT fundus images (ICC = .998) and sub-RPE slabs (ICC = .999) was excellent. Area measurements from OCT fundus images and sub-RPE slabs ...
