  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive ocular imaging technique that has become a standard tool in neuroophthalmic practice. Specifically, OCT captures retinal manifestations of neuroaxonal injury caused by lesions along anterior and posterior regions of the afferent visual pathway, in patients presenting with vision loss. More recently, the advent of OCT angiography (OCTA) has enabled evaluation of the choroidal and retinal microvasculature, thus informing our understanding regarding vascular mechanisms associated with optic nerve and retinal injuries. Much of our longitudinal experience with OCT in the field of neuroophthalmology has been acquired from the study of optic neuritis (ON) caused ...

  Explore rjo.ro Apr 8 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Objective: Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a multifactorial disorder, centered by loss of tear homeostasis. The diagnosis represents a challenge in the absence of a gold standard, so different questionnaires and techniques are combined. Considering that a low lacrimal secretion and a high rate of evaporation can determine changes in the tear film, the question that arises is if there are differences between the tear film thickness and the tear meniscus values of patients with DED compared to healthy volunteers, and if so, if they can be proposed as an objective diagnosis technique using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Apr 7 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  An accurate and automated tissue segmentation algorithm for retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is crucial for the diagnosis of glaucoma. However, due to the presence of the optic disc, the anatomical structure of the peripapillary region of the retina is complicated and is challenging for segmentation. To address this issue, we develop a novel graph convolutional network (GCN)-assisted two-stage framework to simultaneously label the nine retinal layers and the optic disc. Specifically, a multi-scale global reasoning module is inserted between the encoder and decoder of a U-shape neural network to exploit anatomical prior knowledge and perform spatial reasoning ...

24. Integrating adaptive optics-SLO and OCT for multimodal visualization of the human retinal pigment epithelial mosaic
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Apr 3 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  In vivo imaging of human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells has been demonstrated through multiple adaptive optics (AO)-based modalities. However, whether consistent and complete information regarding the cellular structure of the RPE mosaic is obtained across these modalities remains uncertain due to limited comparisons performed in the same eye. Here, an imaging platform combining multimodal AO-scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO) with AO-optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) is developed to make a side-by-side comparison of the same RPE cells imaged across four modalities: AO-darkfield, AO-enhanced indocyanine green (AO-ICG), AO-infrared autofluorescence (AO-IRAF), and AO-OCT. Co-registered images were acquired in five subjects, including one ...
