3. Deep learning architectures analysis for age-related macular degeneration segmentation on optical coherence tomography scans
  
  Explore ScienceDirect 5 hours, 2 min ago Ophthalmology
  
  Background and Objectives: Aged people usually are more to be diagnosed with retinal diseases in developed countries. Retinal capillaries leakage into the retina swells and causes an acute vision loss, which is called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The disease can not be adequately diagnosed solely using fundus images as depth information is not available. The variations in retina volume assist in monitoring ophthalmological abnormalities. Therefore, high-fidelity AMD segmentation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging modality has raised the attention of researchers as well as those of the medical doctors. Many methods across the years encompassing machine learning approaches and convolutional ...

  Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, with hypertension and diabetes mellitus acting as major risk factors for its development. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and the most frequent end point of CKD. There is an urgent need for more precise methods to identify patients at risk of CKD and cardiovascular disease. Alterations in microvascular structure and function contribute to the development of hypertension, diabetes, CKD, and their associated cardiovascular disease. Homology between the eye and the kidney suggests that noninvasive imaging of the retinal vessels can detect these microvascular alterations to improve targeting of at-risk patients ...

8. Visibility of microvessels in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography depends on angular orientation
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library May 30 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  OCT Angiography (OCTA) is a widespread tool for depth‐resolved imaging of chorioretinal vasculature with single microvessel resolution. To improve the clinical interpretation of OCTA, the conditions affecting visualization of microvessels must be defined. Here we inject a scattering plasma tracer (Intralipid) during OCTA imaging of the anesthetized rat eye. In the retina, we find that interlaminar (vertical) vessels that connect laminae have one‐fourth to one‐third the OCTA red blood cell to tracer (RBC‐to‐tracer) signal ratio of intralaminar (horizontal) vessels. This finding suggests that the OCTA signal from microvessels depends on angular orientation, making vertically‐oriented ...

  Retinal disease and loss of vision can result from any disruption of the complex pathways controlling retinal development and homeostasis. Forward genetics provides an excellent tool to find, in an unbiased manner, genes that are essential to these processes. Using N -ethyl- N -nitrosourea mutagenesis in mice in combination with a screening protocol using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and automated meiotic mapping, we identified 11 mutations presumably causative of retinal phenotypes in genes previously known to be essential for retinal integrity. In addition, we found multiple statistically significant gene-phenotype associations that have not been reported previously and decided to target ...

18. Improving the Detection of Glaucoma and Its Progression: A Topographical Approach
  
  Explore LWW Online May 28 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Glaucoma is typically defined as a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by a specific (arcuate) pattern of visual field (VF) and anatomical changes. Therefore, we should be comparing arcuate patterns of damage seen on VFs with those seen on optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) maps. Instead, clinicians often use summary metrics such as VF pattern standard deviation (PSD), OCT retinal nerve fiber (RNF) global thickness, etc. There are two major impediments to topographically comparing patterns of damage on VF and OCT maps. First, until recently, it was not easy to make these comparisons with commercial reports. While recent reports do make it ...
