1. Compressed Sensing for Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Volume Generation
  
  Explore Home - Springer Feb 18 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is an increasingly popular modality for imaging of the retinal vasculature. Repeated optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of the retina allow the computation of motion contrast to display the retinal vasculature. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first application of compressed sensing for the generation of OCTA volumes. Using a probabilistic signal model for the computation of OCTA volumes and a 3D median filter, it is possible to perform compressed sensing reconstruction of OCTA volumes while suppressing noise. The presented approach was tested on a ground truth, averaged from ten individual OCTA ...

2. MultiColor imaging to detect different subtypes of retinal microaneurysms in diabetic retinopathy
  
  Explore Nature Publishing Group Feb 17 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Background Retinal microaneurysms (MAs) are among the earliest signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and are typically detected by fluorescein angiography (FA). Confocal MultiColor is a noninvasive-imaging technique able to analyze different retinal features by capturing three simultaneous reflectance images. The main aim of the present study was to characterize morphological features of MAs by means of MultiColor images and to compare these with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and FA findings. Methods A cross-sectional, observational study setting was chosen. Multimodal imaging included MultiColor, SD-OCT and FA images. We performed a qualitative analysis in order to assess the relationship between ...

3. Automatic Segmentation and Visualization of Choroid in OCT with Knowledge Infused Deep Learning
  
  Explore arxiv.org Feb 16 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  The choroid provides oxygen and nourishment to the outer retina thus is related to the pathology of various ocular diseases. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is advantageous in visualizing and quantifying the choroid in vivo, because it does not suffer from the information contamination of the outer retina in fundus photography and scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and the resolution deficiency in ocular ultrasound. We propose a biomarker infused global-to-local network, for the choroid segmentation. It leverages the thickness of the choroid layer, which is a primary biomarker in clinic, as a constraint to improve the segmentation accuracy. We also design a global-to-local ...

  Explore TVST Journal Feb 16 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose : To compare artifact rates in two-dimensional (2D) versus three-dimensional (3D) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) scans using Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) Methods : Thirteen artifact types in 2D and 3D RNFL scans were identified in 106 glaucomatous eyes and 95 normal eyes. Artifact rates were calculated per B-scan and per eye. In 3D volume scans, artifacts were counted only for the 97 B-scans used to calculate RNFL parameters for the 2.5–3.5-mm annulus. 3D RNFL measurements were calculated twice, once before and again after deletion of B-scans with artifacts and subsequent automated interpolation. Results : For 2D scans ...

  Explore Nature Publishing Group Feb 16 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Silicone oil (SO) is widely used as a long-term intravitreal tamponading agent for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. This study investigated the structural changes of the foveal microvasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with RRD treated with vitrectomy and SO tamponade. Thirty-eight patients with unilateral RRD who were treated with vitrectomy and SO tamponade and were followed up for ≥3 months after SO removal were included. En face OCTA images were obtained and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and vascular density (VD) were compared between study eyes and unaffected contralateral eyes. The FAZ area in deep capillary ...

11. Reliability of Handheld Optical Coherence Tomography in Children Younger Than Three Years of Age Undergoing Vigabatrin Treatment for Childhood Epilepsy
  
  Explore TVST Journal Feb 16 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose : Vigabatrin-associated retinal toxicity manifests as reduction in the clinical electroretinogram and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning. This observational investigation of RNFL thickness in young vigabatrin-treated children was to identify intravisit and intervisit reliabilities of peripapillary RNFL thickness measurements performed with Envisu (optical coherence tomography) OCT. Secondarily, a longitudinal assessment investigated the presence and extent of RNFL thinning. Methods : We measured the handheld OCT in sedated children to evaluate the RNFL thickness using segmentation software. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) statistics identified intravisit and intervisit reliabilities for RNFL thickness. Results : Twenty-nine children (10.1 ± 6.0 months old) underwent handheld ...

13. Blood flow rate estimation in optic disc capillaries and vessels using Doppler optical coherence tomography with 3D fast phase unwrapping
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Feb 16 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  The retinal volumetric flow rate contains useful information not only for ophthalmo-logy but also for the diagnosis of common civilization diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, or cerebrovascular diseases. Non-invasive optical methods for quantitative flow assessment, such as Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT), have certain limitations. One is the phase wrapping that makes simultaneous calculations of the flow in all human retinal vessels impossible due to a very large span of flow velocities. We demonstrate that three-dimensional Doppler OCT combined with three-dimensional four Fourier transform fast phase unwrapping (3D 4FT FPU) allows for the calculation of the volumetric blood ...

  An estimated 64.4% of patients were willing to pay for the extra imaging step. For patients considering cataract surgery with a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL), optical coherence tomography (OCT) done prior to the procedure may increase the overall cost, but it also could be beneficial in detecting other macular pathologies and improving quality of life, a study in Ophthalmology reports. Based on their analysis, researchers found approximately 20.5% of patients undergoing cataract surgery may have macular pathologies, of which 11% may not be found during the initial clinical exam. The investigation’s base case was a 67-year-old male ...
