1. OCT-Angiography: Mydriatic phenylephrine and tropicamide do not influence retinal microvasculature in macula and peripapillary region

   Explore Journals | PLOS Oct 24 2019 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) enables visualization of retinal microcirculation. As a potential influence of mydriatic eye drops on retinal vessel density (VD) was proposed, the purpose of the present study was to investigate an influence of 5% phenylephrine and 0.5% tropicamide on macula and peripapillary VD. Methods 30 eyes of 30 healthy persons were measured by en face OCT-A (Spectralis OCT II, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg). Scans of the macula (12 sectors, region of interest, ROI: 6.10 mm 2 ) and peripapillary region (4 sectors, ROI: 2.67 mm 2 ) were performed before (-) and 30 minutes after application ...

2. OCT-Detected Optic Nerve Head Neural Canal Direction, Obliqueness and Minimum Cross-Sectional Area in Healthy Eyes

   Explore ScienceDirect May 23 2019 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose To assess anterior scleral canal opening (ASCO) offset relative to Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO) (ASCO/BMO offset) so as to determine neural canal direction, obliqueness, and minimum cross-sectional area (NCMCA) in 362 healthy eyes. Design Cross-sectional study Methods After OCT optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) imaging, BMO and ASCO were manually segmented and planes, centroids, size and shape were calculated. Neural canal direction was defined by projecting the neural canal axis vector (connecting BMO and ASCO centroids) onto the BMO plane. Neural canal obliqueness was defined by the angle between the neural ...

7. Longitudinal analysis of progression in glaucoma using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography

   Explore iovs.org May 9 2013 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose. To compare the longitudinal loss of RNFL thickness measurements by SD-OCT in normals and glaucoma patients with or without progression concerning optic disc morphology. Methods. 62 eyes, comprising 38 glaucomatous eyes with open angle glaucoma and 24 healthy controls, were included in the study (Erlangen Glaucoma Registry, NTC00494923). All patients were investigated annually over a period of three years by Spectralis SD-OCT measuring peripapillary RNFL thickness. By masked comparative analysis of photographs the eyes were classified into non-progressive and progressive glaucoma cases. Longitudinal loss of RNFL thickness was compared to morphological changes of optic disc morphology. Results. Mixed model ...

8. Wavelet denoising of multiframe optical coherence tomography data

   Explore opticsinfobase.org Feb 22 2012

   

   We introduce a novel speckle noise reduction algorithm for OCT images. Contrary to present approaches, the algorithm does not rely on simple averaging of multiple image frames or denoising on the final averaged image. Instead it uses wavelet decompositions of the single frames for a local noise and structure estimation. Based on this analysis, the wavelet detail coefficients are weighted, averaged and reconstructed. At a signal-to-noise gain at about 100% we observe only a minor sharpness decrease, as measured by a full-width-half-maximum reduction of 10.5%. While a similar signal-to-noise gain would require averaging of 29 frames, we achieve this ...

9. Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Segmentation on FD-OCT Scans of Normal Subjects and Glaucoma Patients

   Explore opticsinfobase.org Nov 8 2010 Ophthalmology

   

   Automated measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness on circular OCT B-Scans provide physicians additional parameters for glaucoma diagnosis. We propose a novel retinal nerve fiber layer segmentation algorithm for frequency domain data that can be applied on scans from both normal healthy subjects, as well as glaucoma patients, using the same set of parameters. In addition, the algorithm remains almost unaffected by image quality. The main part of the segmentation process is based on the minimization of an energy function consisting of gradient and local smoothing terms. A quantitative evaluation comparing the automated segmentation results to manually corrected ...

    Explore Archives of Ophthalmology Aug 9 2009 Oncology , Ophthalmology

    High-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a new exciting technology for visualization of microstructural alterations in retinal diseases.1 We investigated the applicability of this noninvasive method to detect in vivo early vitreous seeding of a histologically proven choroidal melanoma with transretinal tumor extension (Knapp-Rønne melanoma). Report of a Case A 68-year-old man had blurred vision and inferotemporal visual field defect of the right eye for 4 months. His visual acuity was 20/30 OD and 20/20 OS. On funduscopy, a large pigmented choroidal mass with overlying hemorrhages was observed in the superonasal quadrant (Figure, A). Subretinal fluid ...

    PURPOSE. To study the correlation between local perimetric field defects and glaucoma-induced thickness reduction of the nerve layer measured in the peripapillary area with scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SOCT) and to compare the results with those of a theoretical model. METHODS. The thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer was determined in 32 sectors (11.25° each) by using SLP with variable cornea compensation (GDxVCC; Laser Diagnostics, San Diego, CA) and the newly introduced high-resolution SOCT (Spectralis; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany).

15. Visualization of Changes of the Iris Configuration After Peripheral Laser Iridotomy in Primary Melanin Dispersion Syndrome Using Optical Coherence Tomography.

    Explore Journal of Glaucoma Oct 14 2008 Ophthalmology

    Pigment or melanin dispersion syndrome is characterized by radial iris transillumination defects, retrocorneal Krukenberg spindle, and dense trabecular pigmentation. Reverse pupillary block has been presumed as one possible pathogenetic mechanism for backward bowing of the iris leading to iris-zonular rubbing and distribution of melanin granules in the anterior chamber. Laser iridotomy is recommended as a treatment to prevent further melanin dispersion and development of pigmentary glaucoma. The effect of Nd:YAG laser iridotomy as a prophylactic and potentially causal treatment in melanin dispersion syndrome can be easily visualized by optical coherence tomography as a fast and noncontact procedure.
