      Three-Dimensional Distribution Of Fundus Depolarization and Associating Factors Measured Using Polarization-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography

      Purpose : To investigate the three-dimensional distribution and associating demographic factors of depolarization, using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT), to evaluate melanin pigmentation in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid in healthy eyes. Methods : In total, 39 unaffected healthy eyes of 39 subjects were examined using a PS-OCT clinical prototype. The degree of depolarization, expressed as the polarimetric entropy, was assessed in the RPE, the superficial and the total choroid layer, especially in the center, the inner, or the outer areas centered at the fovea. The values and their association with the demographic data were analyzed. Near-infrared fundus autofluorescence (NIRAF ...

      Non-contact, in-vivo, functional, and structural ophthalmic imaging using multimodal photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT)

      Early diagnosis of ocular diseases improves the understanding of pathophysiology and helps with accurate monitoring and effective treatment. Advanced multimodal ocular imaging platforms play a crucial role in the visualization of the ocular components and provide clinicians with a valuable tool for evaluating different eye diseases. Here, for the first time, we present a non-contact, multimodal photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) microscopy and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for in-vivo functional and structural imaging of the eye. The system provides complementary imaging contrasts of optical absorption and optical scattering and is used for non-contact, in-vivo imaging of the murine eye. Results ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography in Pituitary Adenomas Serves as a Predictor for Visual Functionality Postresection

      Introduction: The current gold standard for evaluating functional impairment of pituitary tumors is Humphrey visual field (HVF) testing. However, optical coherence tomography (OCT) may serve as an alternative in predicting return of visual function in postoperative surgically resected patients diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma. Methods: After application of exclusion criteria, we identified 12 patients with pituitary adenomas that had been treated surgically at our institution from 2017 to 2019. Patient pre- and postoperative visual acuity, mean deviation, HVF features, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) characteristics, retinal ganglion cell layer (RGCL) thickness, and duration of symptoms were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the Choriocapillaris in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

      The advent of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has allowed for remarkable advancements in our understanding of the role of the choriocapillaris in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). As a relatively new imaging modality, techniques to analyze and quantify choriocapillaris images are still evolving. Quantification of the choriocapillaris requires careful consideration of many factors, including the type of OCTA device, segmentation of the choriocapillaris slab, image processing techniques, and thresholding method. OCTA imaging shows that the choriocapillaris is impaired in intermediate non-neovascular AMD, and the severity of impairment may predict the advancement of disease. In advanced atrophic AMD, the choriocapillaris is ...

      Structural OCT Parameters Associated with Treatment Response and Macular Neovascularization Onset in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

      Introduction: This study aimed to assess quantitative factors associated with treatment response and macular neovascularization (MNV) onset in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) through an artificial intelligence-based approach. Methods: The study was designed as an interventional, prospective case series with a planned follow-up of 36 months. We included only eyes demonstrating the first episode of CSC. All the patients underwent eplerenone or photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment. Eyes developing MNV underwent anti-VEGF injections. We developed an artificial intelligence-based model to assess predictive quantitative structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) factors related to treatment response and onset of MNV.

      Diabetic vascular hyperpermeability: optical coherence tomography angiography and functional loss assessments of relationships among retinal vasculature changes

      Our study assessed the influence of vascular permeability on vascular flow density (FD)-correlated retinal sensitivity (RS) in DR. In this cross-sectional, prospective, consecutive study, RS in the extrafoveal macula of DR patient was measured by microperimetry. FD was measured in the total, superficial, and deep capillary plexus layers (TCP, SCP, and DCP) by optical coherence tomography angiography. All measurement points were classified into four categories according to intensity of fluorescein leakage and FD, and the RS reduction was compared. A stratified analysis by retinal thickness (RT) was also performed. Fourteen eyes (14 patients) were enrolled. FDs at 207 RS ...

      Optical coherence tomography angiography for the diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis with serous retinal detachment

      Rationale: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. GPA affects multiple ocular tissues, most commonly the orbit, conjunctiva, cornea, and sclera. Retinal and choroidal manifestations are rare in GPA, but they often include choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Patient concerns: A 36-year-old man was diagnosed with GPA. He had been taking oral steroid treatment for 8 years. He experienced disease recurrence and the dose of oral prednisolone was increased after steroid pulse therapy. Fundus examination showed small retinal pigment epithelial detachment and serous retinal detachment (SRD). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed a protruded lesion inside the ...

      OCT-GAN: single step shadow and noise removal from optical coherence tomography images of the human optic nerve head

      Speckle noise and retinal shadows within OCT B-scans occlude important edges, fine textures and deep tissues, preventing accurate and robust diagnosis by algorithms and clinicians. We developed a single process that successfully removed both noise and retinal shadows from unseen single-frame B-scans within 10.4ms. Mean average gradient magnitude (AGM) for the proposed algorithm was 57.2% higher than current state-of-the-art, while mean peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR), and structural similarity index metric (SSIM) increased by 11.1%, 154% and 187% respectively compared to single-frame B-scans. Mean intralayer contrast (ILC) improvement for the retinal ...

      Integrated Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography in Pediatric Glaucoma Surgery (Textbook)

      The advent of integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (i 2 OCT) has opened the door for safer and more complex surgeries in the retina and cornea. However, to limit its use to just two subspecialties within ophthalmology is an opportunity lost for many other subspecialties. Here, we describe the use of i 2 OCT in pediatric glaucoma surgery. It can be used to identify Schlemm’s canal, Barkan’s membrane, demonstrate the corneal pathology in Haab’s striae, and iris hypoplasia in cases of Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly. It can help identify drainage blebs that are filtering and those that are not ...
