    2. Relationship of the optical coherence tomography signal to underlying retinal histology in the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri)

      Explore iovs.org Ophthalmology
      PURPOSE. To interpret the retinal origin of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal by objectively (i.e. minimal investigator bias) aligning in vivo OCT longitudinal reflectivity profiles (LRPs) with corresponding vertical histological sections. METHODS. The Zeiss StratusOCT system was used to obtain retinal B-scans in vivo in eyes from adult tree shrews. Subsequently, the retinas were fixed and embedded. Semi-thin vertical sections through the retina were obtained from the same locations as the LRPs. A statistical correlation procedure that accounted for axial tissue shrinkage determined the best relationship between features in the LRP and sublaminae boundaries in corresponding histology sections ...

      To report an image segmentation algorithm that was developed to provide quantitative thickness measurement of six retinal layers in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Design Prospective cross-sectional study. Methods Imaging was performed with time- and spectral-domain OCT instruments in 15 and 10 normal healthy subjects, respectively. A dedicated software algorithm was developed for boundary detection based on a 2-dimensional edge detection scheme, enhancing edges along the retinal depth while suppressing speckle noise. Automated boundary detection and quantitative thickness measurements derived by the algorithm were compared with measurements obtained from boundaries manually marked by three observers. Thickness profiles for six retinal ...

    20. Ultrasound provides clearer picture of posterior segment

      Explore Ophthalmology Times Ophthalmology
      "Currently available ultrasound techniques can evaluate the cornea to the level of microns. By imaging the sulcus, ciliary body, and lens, the results are superior to OCT imaging," he said. "For retina specialists, this technology is useful for looking at the anterior segment, that is, the ciliary body and the area around the lens. This imaging approach is also useful to diagnose and follow patients with tumors to determine if treatment with an iodine or other radioactive plaque is necessary or, if used, was effective. However, the posterior segment cannot be visualized using high frequencies because of ultrasound absorption, thus ...

    24. Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography allows improved visualization of retinal layers

      Explore Ophthalmology Times Ophthalmology
      Sacramento, CA—Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new technology that enables improved visualization of the retinal layers, especially the photoreceptor layer. This technology, also known as spectral-domain OCT, is sensitive enough to facilitate the diagnosis of maculopathy in eyes with vision loss unexplained using routine diagnostic tests, such as funduscopy, fluorescein angiography, and time-domain OCT technology (Stratus OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec). So says Susanna S. Park, MD, PhD, who with colleagues used for research a high-resolution Fourier-domain OCT instrument developed by the Vision Science and Advanced Retinal Imaging Laboratory at the University of California Davis. The system differs ...
