To suggest a novel classification of choroidal neovascular membrane based on optical coherence tomography angiography and to correlate morphological characteristics based on optical coherence tomography with clinical criteria of disease activity.
urpose: To investigate agreement between 2 swept source OCT biometers, IOL M.aster700 and Anterion, in various ocular biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) calculations of primary angle-closure disease (PACD). Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in a tertiary eye care centre involving biometric measurements obtained with 2 devices in phakic eye with diagnosis of PACD. Mean difference and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with confidence limits were assessed, and calculations of estimated residual refraction of the IOL were analysed using Barrett's formula
To date, the diagnosis and subtyping of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is verified with histopathology which requires a biopsy. Because this technique is invasive, new non-invasive strategies have been developed, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This innovative technique enables microscopically detailed examination of lesions, which is useful for diagnosing and identification of various subtypes of BCC. The diagnostic value of the VIVOSIGHT OCT in daily clinical practice, has not been established to date.
Punctal stenosis is an important etiological factor that should be considered when assessing patients with epiphora. Anatomically, acquired punctal stenosis is a condition in which the external opening of the lacrimal canaliculus is narrowed or occluded and also can be accompanied by canalicular ductal stenosis.1,2. Defining an anatomical clear cut-off value for punctal stenosis is difficult due to wide variations in patients' demographics. Clinically, punctal stenosis is defined as a punctum size restricting tear drainage in the absence of distal tear drainage abnormalities.2 Acquired punctal stenosis can be involutional, inflammatory, infectious or idiopathic.3,4 Inflammatory endogenous ...
To study the correlation between three different lens nuclear opacity classification methods and intraoperative phacoemulsification parameters .
he INTERCLIMA (Interventional Strategy for Non-culprit Lesions With Major Vulnerability Criteria Identified by Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome) is a multi-center, prospective, randomized trial of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based versus physiology-based (i.e. fractional flow reserve[FFR]/instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio[iFR]/resting full-cycle ratio[RFR]) treatment of intermediate (40-70% diameter stenosis at quantitative coronary angiography), non-culprit coronary lesions in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing coronary angiography. About 1400 patients with ACS will be randomized into the study at approximately 40 sites worldwide.
This study is being done to prevent changes in the vision of astronauts during prolonged residence on the International Space Station or a mission to Mars. This project will provide data about the efficacy of lower body negative pressure to mimic daily upright posture by intermittently lowering central venous pressure while in simulated microgravity (3 days of bed rest). The investigators expect that 3 days of bed rest will increase choroid thickness, and choroid area. The investigators hypothesize that nightly LBNP (-20mmHg) will prevent these changes.

Several optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers with potential to influence postsurgical outcomes after vitrectomy with membrane peeling for idiopathic epiretinal membranes (iERM) have been described in single predictor analyses in the past. Aim of the study is to assess the reliability of diagnosis of OCT biomarkers and to calculate their impact on postsurgical visual acuity in a multiple regression analysis.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical study that plans to continuously enroll patients with STEMI who, for various reasons, have not received direct PCI treatment within 48 hours of symptom onset. All STEMI patients will be treated according to the hospital's standard procedures and will continue to watch for plaque stability for 7 to 30 days. Treatment options for STEMI include: progressive thrombus aspiration without balloon or stent implantation; Stabilization with medication in a relatively small hospital that could not provide PCI treatment and then transfer to a tertiary hospital for further evaluation; Thrombolytic therapy. After that ...
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder of development of the neural retina and its vasculature that can impact vision in vulnerable preterm neonates for a lifetime. This study tests high-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology compared to conventional color photographs at the bedside of very preterm infants in the intensive care nursery, to characterize previously unseen abnormalities that can predict a need for referral for ROP treatment, or poor visual or neurological development later in life, up to pre-school age. Our long-term goal is to help improve preterm infant health and vision via objective bedside imaging and analysis that ...
This study evaluates the corneal features using anterior segment - optical coherence tomography in patients affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus
The paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) is an emerging device in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); it allows a rapid local release of an anti-restenotic drug without the use of a durable polymer or metal scaffold. The DCB has been proven to be effective with paclitaxel in preclinical trials and in clinical practice for the treatment of coronary lesions such as in-stent restenosis (ISR), de novo and bifurcation lesions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an intravascular imaging modality that has higher resolution than intravascular ultrasound. Excellent contrast among lumen, vessel, and stent in OCT images allows accurate measurement of lumen and lesion ...
To evaluate the role of anterior segment optical coherence tomography in follow up of infectious keratitis and assessment of response to treatment.
Optical microsurgery of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) requires reliable real-time dosimetry to prevent unwanted overexposure of the neuroretina. The SPECTRALIS CENTAURUS device implements optical coherence tomography (OCT) to detect intentional elimination of RPE cells caused by a prototype laser for selective retina therapy (SRT). Within this clinical trial the safety of the SPECTRALIS CENTAURUS device and its ability to detect RPE cell damage towards selective real-time laser microsurgery will be evaluated

The purpose of this study is to collect the macular OCT images and preoperative and postoperative visual acuity of cataract patients who had been operated in the eye center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College, and to train a model that can relatively accurately predict the postoperative visual acuity of patients by deep learing
In patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the culprit lesion significally reduces the risk of cardiovascular death. How to manage in this setting non-culprit lesion in patients with multivessel disease still remain a matter of debate. Recently, the COMPLETE trial showed that complete PCI of every coronary stenosis > 70% (or 50-69% lesions with FFR < 0.8) reduces risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina (UA) at 3 years compared with culprit-lesion PCI [1]. Whether this findings are related to revascularization of every obstructive lesions rather than lesions with vulnerable-plaque characteristics, still remain ...
