  Explore Healio.com 19 hours, 25 min ago Ophthalmology
  
  Retinal acute toxicity may be produced by several etiologies. Iatrogenic toxicity is one of the most-feared complications related to vitreoretinal surgery. The authors report a case of retinal acute toxicity due to the use of perfluorooctane during an uneventful retinal detachment surgery done elsewhere. The aim of this report is to describe the clinical and optical coherence tomography features of this complication, which unfortunately occurred in more than 100 cases in Spain.

  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a software upgrade on conventional spectral-domain or swept-source optical coherence tomography devices that enables non-invasive, dye-free, three dimensional analysis of the retinal vessels. Vessel density is a very important parameter almost in all retinal disorders. In the recent past, automated quantification software was built into some OCTA devices which can automatically calculate the retinal vessel density as well. In this study two semi-manual techniques are used in order to analyze the vessel density of healthy subjects' OCTA images. Vessel density is also measured with a new automated quantification program, and results of the three ...

  Experimental measurements made in this study on human and porcine eyes suggest that the resonant frequency for both cornea and sclera varies from 130 to 150 Hz and increases slightly with increasing intraocular pressure. The values of the moduli calculated using the experimental values of the thickness are close to 2 MPa. Similar values of the modulus for cornea and sclera suggest that there is very little stress concentration at the cornea-scleral junction and that any stress concentration that occurs probably resides at the scleral attachment laterally and posteriorly. These moduli are close to those measured in vivo on human ...

5. Optical coherence tomography angiography in eyes with retinal vein occlusion
  
  Explore jovr.org Jul 18 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive technique that has been introduced in recent years to detect ophthalmological pathology. The growing usage of OCTA to detect retinal abnormalities can be attributed to its advantages over the reference-standard fluorescein angiography (FA), although both of these techniques can be used in association. OCTA's advantages include its dye independency, its ability to produce depth-resolved images of retinal and choroidal vessels that yield images of different vascular layers of the retina, and the better delineation of the foveal avascular zone. OCTA's disadvantages include the lack of normalized patient data, artefactual projection issues ...

7. The Role of Optical Coherence Tomography in Differentiating Optic Disc Drusen from Optic Disc Edema
  
  Explore Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Jul 18 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  An elevated optic nerve head can be an ominous sign, sometimes signifying an underlying basis for raised intracranial pressure. Alternatively, patients may harbor a different mechanism for this optic nerve head appearance, including optic disc drusen (ODD), which does not confer any life-threatening implications. It is important to refine the approach to distinguishing ODD from papilledema because this is a relatively common, and important, conundrum encountered in clinical practice. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, readily accessible, and cost-effective ocular imaging technique that can improve the diagnostic accuracy for detecting ODD; or, instead, increase the index of suspicion for ...

14. Automated Layer Segmentation of Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography Images Using a Deep Feature Enhanced Structured Random Forests Classifier
  
  Explore IEEE Xplore Jul 17 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution and non-invasive imaging modality that has become one of the most prevalent techniques for ophthalmic diagnosis. Retinal layer segmentation is very crucial for doctors to diagnose and study retinal diseases. However, manual segmentation is often a time-consuming and subjective process. In this work, we propose a new method for automatically segmenting retinal OCT images, which integrates deep features and hand-designed features to train a structured random forests classifier. The deep convolutional features are learned from deep residual network. With the trained classifier, we can get the contour probability graph of each layer, finally ...

20. Visible-light optical coherence tomography oximetry based on circumpapillary scan and graph-search segmentation
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Jul 14 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Visible-light optical coherence tomography (vis-OCT) enables retinal oximetry by measuring the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (sO 2 ) from within individual retinal blood vessels. The sO 2 calculation requires reliable estimation of the true spectrum of backscattered light from the posterior vessel wall. Unfortunately, subject motion and image noise make averaging from multiple A-lines at the same depth position challenging, and lead to inaccurate sO 2 estimation. In this study, we developed an algorithm to reliably extract the backscattered light’s spectrum. We used circumpapillary scanning to sample the vessels repeatedly at the same location. A combination of cross-correlation and graph-search ...

  Background Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was a useful tool to study accommodation in human eye, but the maximum image depth is limited due to the decreased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this study, improving optical resolutions, speeds and the SNR were achieved by custom built SD-OCT, and the evaluation of the impact of the improvement during accommodation was investigated. Methods Three systems with different spectrometer designs, including two Charge Coupled Device (CCD) cameras and one Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Transistor (CMOS) camera, were tested.
