1. Volume-based, layer-independent, disease-agnostic detection of abnormal retinal reflectivity, nonperfusion, and neovascularization using structural and angiographic OCT
  
  Explore Optica Publishing Group Oct 3 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is widely used in ophthalmic practice because it can visualize retinal structure and vasculature in vivo and 3-dimensionally (3D). Even though OCT procedures yield data volumes, clinicians typically interpret the 3D images using two-dimensional (2D) data subsets, such as cross-sectional scans or en face projections. Since a single OCT volume can contain hundreds of cross-sections (each of which must be processed with retinal layer segmentation to produce en face images), a thorough manual analysis of the complete OCT volume can be prohibitively time-consuming. Furthermore, 2D reductions of the full OCT volume may obscure relationships between disease ...

4. Corneal imaging with blue-light optical coherence microscopy
  
  Explore Optica Publishing Group Aug 30 2022 Microscopy , Ophthalmology
  
  Corneal imaging is important for the diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation of many eye diseases. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is extensively used in ocular imaging due to its non-invasive and high-resolution volumetric imaging characteristics. Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) is a technical variation of OCT that can image the cornea with cellular resolution. Here, we demonstrate a blue-light OCM as a low-cost and easily reproducible system to visualize corneal cellular structures such as epithelial cells, endothelial cells, keratocytes, and collagen bundles within stromal lamellae. Our blue-light OCM system achieved an axial resolution of 12 µm in tissue over a 1.2 mm ...

6. Widefield Optical Coherence Tomography in Pediatric Retina: A Case Series of Intraoperative Applications Using a Prototype Handheld Device
  
  Explore Frontiers Jul 21 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has changed the standard of care for diagnosis and management of macular diseases in adults. Current commercially available OCT systems, including handheld OCT for pediatric use, have a relatively narrow field of view (FOV), which has limited the potential application of OCT to retinal diseases with primarily peripheral pathology, including many of the most common pediatric retinal conditions. More broadly, diagnosis of all types of retinal detachment (exudative, tractional, and rhegmatogenous) may be improved with OCT-based assessment of retinal breaks, identification of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) membranes, and the pattern of subretinal fluid. Intraocular tumors both benign ...

16. Volumetric directional optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Jan 21 2022 Ophthalmology
  
  Photoreceptor loss and resultant thinning of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) is an important pathological feature of retinal degenerations and may serve as a useful imaging biomarker for age-related macular degeneration. However, the demarcation between the ONL and the adjacent Henle’s fiber layer (HFL) is difficult to visualize with standard optical coherence tomography (OCT). A dedicated OCT system that can precisely control and continuously and synchronously update the imaging beam entry points during scanning has not been realized yet. In this paper, we introduce a novel imaging technology, Volumetric Directional OCT (VD-OCT), which can dynamically adjust the incident beam ...

17. 105° field of view non-contact handheld swept-source optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Nov 23 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  We demonstrate a handheld swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system with a 400 kHz vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) light source, a non-contact approach, and an unprecedented single shot 105° field of view (FOV). We also implemented a spiral scanning pattern allowing real-time visualization with improved scanning efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the widest FOV achieved in a portable non-contact OCT retinal imaging system to date. Improvements to the FOV may aid the evaluation of retinal diseases such as retinopathy of prematurity, where important vitreoretinal changes often occur in the peripheral retina.
