      Evaluation of different Swept’Source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS‐OCTA) slabs for the detection of features of diabetic retinopathy

      Purpose To compare different Swept‐Source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS‐OCTA) slabs for the detection of features of diabetic retinopathy (DR), to find the most suitable slab for grading. Methods Retrospective cross‐sectional study. Consecutive patients with DR were evaluated using SS‐OCTA. The central 12 × 12 mm scan was used to generate the retinal, superficial and deep slab. The grading results of the slabs were then compared to determine if one specific slab is superior to detect respective features. Results A total of 348 eyes (190 patients; mean age 58.1 ± 14.5 years) were graded for features ...

      Repeatability of Wide-field Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Normal Retina

      Purpose : We evaluated the repeatability of wide-field en face swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in healthy subjects. Methods : Healthy subjects underwent two imaging sessions, on average 8 days apart, with a 100 kHz SS-OCTA instrument. The imaging protocol included a central 3 × 3 and 12 × 12 mm scans of the four quadrants resulting in more than a 70° wide-field OCTA of the posterior pole. Quantitative analysis was performed using the inbuilt Macular Density Algorithm Version v0.6.1 and AngioTool software. Consistency for the foveal avascular zone (FAZ), vessel density, and perfusion density of the superficial and deep capillary ...

      Comparison of Choroidal Thickness Measurements Using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography in Six Different Settings and With Customized Automated Segmentation Software

      Purpose : We investigate which spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) setting is superior when measuring subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT) and compared results to an automated segmentation software. Methods : Thirty patients underwent enhanced depth imaging (EDI)-OCT. B-scans were extracted in six different settings (W+N = white background/normal contrast 9; W+H = white background/maximum contrast 16; B+N = black background/normal contrast 12; B+H = black background/maximum contrast 16; C+N = Color-encoded image on black background at predefined contrast of 9, and C+H = Color-encoded image on black background at high/maximal contrast of 16), resulting in 180 images ...

      Choroidal Thickness and Choroidal Vessel Density in Nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration Using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging

      Purpose : To analyze the relationship between choroidal thickness and the distribution of choroidal blood vessels in eyes with nonexudative AMD. Methods : Eyes with a diagnosis of nonexudative AMD were imaged using a prototype 100-kHz swept-source (SS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) instrument (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA) with a central wavelength of 1050 nm. We used an OCT cube scan pattern consisting of 512 × 512 A-scans over a 12 × 12 mm retinal area. The eyes were partitioned into two groups based on the presence or absence of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD). All scans were segmented using an automated algorithm. In addition ...

      Artifactual Flow Signals Within Drusen Detected by OCT Angiography

      BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate possible flow artifacts when imaging drusen with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with drusen were enrolled in a prospective OCT study using the Zeiss AngioPlex OCTA instrument (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA). Two kinds of en face slabs were created for visualizing both structure and flow. The first slab followed the contour of Bruch's membrane. The second slab had an inner boundary following the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) contour and an outer boundary following the contour of Bruch's membrane. The structure and flow signals from within the drusen were ...

      Optical Coherence Tomographic Findings Correspond to Histology

      Purpose: To compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) and histology of outer retinal tubulation (ORT) secondary to advanced age-related macular degeneration in patients and in postmortem specimens, with particular attention to the basis of the hyperreflective border of ORT. Method: A private referral practice (imaging) and an academic research laboratory (histology) collaborated on two retrospective case series. High-resolution OCT raster scans of 43 eyes (34 patients) manifesting ORT secondary to advanced age-related macular degeneration were compared to high-resolution histologic sections through the fovea and superior perifovea of donor eyes (13 atrophic age-related macular degeneration and 40 neovascular age-related macular degeneration) preserved ...
