1. Posterior capsule rupture with FLACS due to erroneous interpretation of a high OCT intensity area in anterior vitreous
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Jul 10 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose We describe a case of posterior capsule rupture during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) due to direct exposure of the posterior capsule to the laser beam. Observations A 47-year-old man underwent FLACS for anterior capsule opacity. The CATALYS® system automatically detected the posterior capsule from the optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, after which the operator manually adjusted the line of posterior capsule. Femtosecond laser irradiation was presumed to be completed successfully. However, upon insertion of a phaco-tip, the diced nucleus of the lens dropped into the vitreous chamber. Reviewing intraoperative OCT images of the treatment summary to check the ...

  Explore Neurology India Jul 10 2020 Neurology , Ophthalmology
  
  Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) without mass lesion or a known etiology with normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition. With optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is a noninvasive imaging technique, cross-sectional scans of the retina, choroid, and optic nerve head can be obtained with a resolution that is close to histological resolution. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of OCT in providing practical and sensitive measurements to follow-up patients with IIH. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 22 patients with IIH and 22 healthy controls. OCT was used to measure ...

7. Utility of optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis and management of optic neuropathy in patients with fibrous dysplasia
  
  Explore asbmr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com Jul 10 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Optic neuropathy (ON) is a highly disabling complication of fibrous dysplasia (FD). The optimal test for identifying and monitoring ON in FD is unknown. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that detects retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning, a sign of optic nerve atrophy. The purpose of this study was to 1) assess the ability of OCT RNFL thickness measurements to identify ON in FD, 2) compare the performance of RNFL thickness to computed tomography measurements, and 3) examine changes in RNFL thickness over to assess disease progression. A retrospective cohort study was performed to assess subjects (N ...

10. Detection of intracranial hypertension in children using optical coherence tomography: a systematic review protocol
  
  Explore BMJ Open Jul 9 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Introduction Intracranial hypertension (ICH) in children can have deleterious effects on the brain and vision. It is notoriously difficult to estimate intracranial pressure (ICP) in children and existing methods deliver suboptimal diagnostic accuracy to be used as screening tools. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) may represent a valuable, non-invasive surrogate measure of ICP, as has been demonstrated in a number of associated conditions affecting adults. More recently, OCT has been employed within the paediatric age group. However, the role of OCT in detecting ICH in children has not been rigorously assessed in a systematic review for all relevant conditions. Here, we ...

11. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography for Mapping Cerebral Microvasculature Based on Normalized Differentiation Analysis
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Jul 9 2020 Neurology , Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a label‐free, noninvasive biomedical imaging modality for mapping microvascular networks and quantifying blood flow velocities in vivo . Simple computation and fast processing are critical for the OCTA in some applications. Herein, we report on a normalized differentiation method for mapping cerebral microvasculature with the advantages of simple analysis and high image quality, benefitting from computation of differentiation and characteristics of normalization. Normalized differentiation values are validated to have a nearly linear relationship with flow velocities in a range using a flow phantom. The measurements in a rat cerebral cortex show that the OCTA ...

12. Determination and correction of aberrations in full field OCT using phase gradient autofocus by maximizing the likelihood function
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Jul 9 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  A method for numerical estimation and correction of aberrations of the eye in fundus imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) is presented. Aberrations are determined statistically by using the estimate based on likelihood function maximization. The method can be considered as an extension of the phase gradient autofocusing algorithm in synthetic aperture radar imaging to 2D optical aberration correction. The efficacy of the proposed method has been demonstrated in OCT fundus imaging with 6λ aberrations. After correction, single photoreceptors were resolved. It is also shown that wavefront distortions with high spatial frequencies can be determined and corrected.

  We read with great interest the correspondence in Lancet by Marinho et al. [ 1 ] describing purported retinal manifestations of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). While there is great interest to understand potential ocular complications of COVID-19 during this pandemic, we have some concerns regarding the interpretation of the fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. Marinho et al. examined 12 COVID-19 patients (all confirmed by PCR or antibody testing) with typical systemic disease but no visual symptoms. The reported cohort was relatively young (25–69 years; no mean or median provided) without severe systemic disease, although 2 were hospitalized. Eleven of the ...

15. Thickness of Intraretinal Layers in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Depending on a Concomitant Diabetic Neuropathy: Results of a Cross-Sectional Study Using Deviation Maps for OCT Data Analysis
  
  Explore MDPI Open Access Journals Platform Jul 8 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  ptical coherence tomography (OCT) supports the detection of thickness changes in intraretinal layers at an early stage of diabetes mellitus. However, the analysis of OCT data in cross-sectional studies is complex and time-consuming. We introduce an enhanced deviation map-based analysis (MA) and demonstrate its effectiveness in detecting early changes in intraretinal layer thickness in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to common early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) grid-based analysis (GA). To this end, we obtained OCT scans of unilateral eyes from 33 T2DM patients without diabetic retinopathy and 40 healthy controls. The patients were categorized according to ...

  Background Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) encompasses different neurological phenotypes, ranging from the most severe cerebral forms (C-ALD) to the less severe adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). As visual system can be varyingly involved, we aimed at exploring whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) may detect retinal abnormalities and their longitudinal changes in adult ALD patients. Methods In this cross-sectional and longitudinal study, we measured the thicknesses of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC), and segmented inner and outer macula at baseline and their changes over time in 11 symptomatic adult ALD males and 10 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

  Projects from Boston and Portland could help translation of OCTA into clinics. Retina blood flow: vital for diagnosis Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a promising technique for imaging of blood vessels, in which sequential OCT scans of the same tissue cross-section reveal the sites of blood flow within those tissues, and can allow the blood oxygen content to be calculated. Examination of the retina is one promising application area for OCTA, thanks partly to the widespread adoption of conventional OCT within ophthalmology and its established place in clinical workflows.

  Segmentation of retinal layers in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an essential step in OCT image analysis for screening, diagnosis, and assessment of retinal disease progression. Real-time segmentation together with high-speed OCT volume acquisition allows rendering of en face OCT of arbitrary retinal layers, which can be used to increase the yield rate of high-quality scans, provide real-time feedback during image-guided surgeries, and compensate aberrations in adaptive optics (AO) OCT without using wavefront sensors. We demonstrate here unprecedented real-time OCT segmentation of eight retinal layer boundaries achieved by 3 levels of optimization: 1) a modified, low complexity, neural network structure ...
