  Embodiments provide systems and methods associated with a reflectance-based projection-resolved (rbPR) optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) algorithm which uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) reflectance to enhance the flow signal and suppress the projection artifacts in 3-dimensional OCTA. rbPR improves the vascular connectivity and improved the discrimination of the deeper plexus angiograms in healthy eyes, compared to prior PR-OCTA method. Additionally, rbPR removes flow projection artifacts more completely from the outer retinal slab in the eyes with age-related macular degeneration, and preserves vascular integrity of the intermediate and deep capillary plexuses in the eyes with diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, the rbPR method ...

7. In Vivo Quantitative Analysis of Anterior Chamber White Blood Cell Mixture Composition Using Spectroscopic Optical Coherence Tomography
  
  Explore arxiv.org Jan 18 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Anterior uveitis is the most common form of intraocular inflammation, and one of its main signs is the presence of white blood cells (WBCs) in the anterior chamber (AC). Clinically, the true composition of cells can currently only be obtained using AC paracentesis, an invasive procedure to obtain AC fluid requiring needle insertion into the AC. We previously developed a spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (SOCT) analysis method to differentiate between populations of RBCs and subtypes of WBCs, including granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes, both in vitro and in ACs of excised porcine eyes. We have shown that different types of WBCs ...

9. Optical coherence tomography image for automatic classification of diabetic macular edema
  
  Explore Optica Applicata Jan 18 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the dominant reason of diabetic visual loss, so early detection and treatment of DME is of great significance for the treatment of diabetes. Based on transfer learning, an automatic classification method is proposed to distinguish DME images from normal images in optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal fundus images. Features of the DME are automatically identified and extracted by the pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN), which only involves fine-tuning the VGGNet-16 network without any user intervention. An accuracy of 97.9% and a sensitivity of 98.0% are acquired with the OCT images in the Duke ...

  Explore ScienceDirect Jan 18 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Background: Retinal nonperfusion (NP) is a biomarker for assessment of the severity of diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. However, various conditions mimic the retinal NP flow void signals that are observed in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: In this review, the possible mechanisms for these similar void flow signals in OCTA were summarized, and the discrepancies between the evaluations of retinal NP with fluorescein angiography and OCTA were also investigated and evaluated in terms of size and morphology. Results and conclusion: Vascular occlusion, resulting in retinal ischemia, leads to a flow void signal, indicating retinal NP in OCTA ...

15. A comparison of optic disc area measured by confocal scanning laser tomography versus Bruch’s membrane opening area measured using optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore BMC Ophthalmology Jan 16 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Background: Precise optic disc size measurements based on anatomically exact disc margins are fundamental for a correct assessment of glaucoma suspects. Computerized imaging techniques, such as confocal-scanning-laser-tomography (CSLT), which applies operator defined boundaries and optical-coherence-tomography (OCT), which incorporates an alternative detectable landmark (Bruch's-membrane-opening (BMO)), have simplified the planimetry of the optic disc and BMO-area, respectively. This study's objectives are to compare both modalities for area and to define a threshold for macro-BMO using BMO-OCT. Methods: Retrospectively, patients that simultaneously received CSLT and BMO-OCT scans were included. Their images were correlated and agreement was determined using Bland-Altman-analysis. The diagnostic ...

18. A pilot study investigating anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography as a non-invasive tool in evaluating corneal vascularisation
  
  Explore Nature Publishing Group Jan 16 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  The current assessment of corneal vascularisation (CV) relies on slit-lamp examination, which may be subjective. Dye-based angiographies, like indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), allows for good visualisation of anterior segment blood vessels. However, ICGA is invasive and can be associated with systemic adverse effects. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) is a non-invasive tool that has been shown to successfully delineate CV. However, there are no previous studies that have reported if AS-OCTA can determine CV stage and activity. We used an established CV model in rabbits to examine serial AS-OCTA scans of CV development and regression following treatment with ...

  Background: Several researchers have used commercial microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems in glaucoma surgery, including ab interno trabeculectomy and canaloplasty. However, the 840 nm wavelength light source of the OCT systems is not ideal for imaging the anterior chamber angle structures because of its limited penetration. We evaluated the potential value of a microscope-integrated swept-source OCT system with a 1,310 nm center-wavelength light in canaloplasty for glaucoma. Methods: Sixteen porcine eyes were used to simulate canaloplasty. The critical surgical steps were monitored using a prototype microscope-integrated OCT system with a 1,310 nm light source and a high ...
