7. Megahertz-rate optical coherence tomography angiography improves the contrast of the choriocapillaris and choroid in human retinal imaging
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Dec 5 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Angiographic imaging of the human eye with optical coherence tomography (OCT) is becoming an increasingly important tool in the scientific investigation and clinical management of several blinding diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. We have observed that OCT angiography (OCTA) of the human choriocapillaris and choroid with a 1.64 MHz A-scan rate swept-source laser yields higher contrast images as compared to a slower rate system operating at 100 kHz. This result is unexpected because signal sensitivity is reduced when acquisition rates are increased, and the incident illumination power is kept constant. The contrast of angiography images generated ...

12. Retinal vessel optical coherence tomography images for anemia screening
  
  Explore Home - Springer Dec 4 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Anemia is a disease that leads to low oxygen carrying capacity in the blood. Early detection of anemia is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases. We find that retinal vessel optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of patients with anemia have abnormal performance because the internal material of the vessel absorbs light. In this study, an automatic anemia screening method based on retinal vessel OCT images is proposed. The method consists of seven steps, namely, denoising, region of interest (ROI) extraction, layer segmentation, vessel segmentation, feature extraction, feature dimensionality reduction, and classification. We propose gradient and threshold algorithm ...

18. En face optical coherence tomography imaging of beta and gamma parapapillary atrophy in high myopia
  
  Explore ophthalmologyglaucoma.org Dec 4 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Objective Recent studies have suggested that optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based classification of parapapillary atrophy (PPA) may be helpful in distinguishing glaucomatous from myopic optic disc changes. However, the pathological implications of PPA may be different in highly myopic eyes that exhibit optic disc deformations distinct from low to moderate myopia. Therefore, we conducted the current study to investigate factors associated with OCT-defined PPA zones measured in en face reconstructed swept source OCT (SS OCT) images in highly myopic eyes. Design Retrospective, cross-sectional study. Participants Seventy-seven eyes of 55 subjects with high myopia (spherical equivalent refractive error ≤ -8 diopters or ...

  In this study, we investigated the relationship between the biomechanical properties of the crystalline lens and intraocular pressure (IOP) using a confocal acoustic radiation force (ARF) and phase-sensitive optical coherence elastography (OCE) system. ARF induced a small displacement at the apex of porcine lenses in situ at various artificially controlled IOPs. Maximum displacement, relaxation rate, and Young’s modulus were utilized to assess the stiffness of the crystalline lens. The results showed that the stiffness of the crystalline increased as IOP increased, but the lens stiffening was not as significant as the stiffening of other ocular tissues such as the ...
