      Home OCT with AI analysis may lead to ‘paradigm shift’ in AMD management

      A novel artificial intelligence-based algorithm for automatic retinal fluid quantification in home OCT images performed comparably to human readers, according to a presentation from the virtual American Society of Retina Specialists meeting. This system was able to analyze fluid status, its dynamics and visualize the locations of fluid, Judy E. Kim, MD, professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at Medical College of Wisconsin, said during the presentation. “Currently, much of our diagnosis and management of eyes with exudative AMD is dependent on OCT. At-home diagnostic testing systems, such as home OCT, offer an opportunity for personalizing AMD management by providing ...

      The Next Innovation in PCI Is Not a Stent: The Value of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

      For decades, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has largely been guided solely by angiography, despite its well-documented limitations. 1 Angiography offers a two-dimensional view of a three-dimensional structure and does very little to delineate the composition of the coronary artery. Additionally, angiography poorly quantitates the severity and location of calcium, does not provide information about plaque morphology, nor does it provide highly accurate and reproducible lumen sizing. For PCI, the operator is limited by angiography in identifying stent malapposition or under-expansion, edge dissections, or plaque protrusion. In short, we have not been seeing the full story. By providing the highest resolution ...

      New Research Finds Abbott's Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Changed Treatment Decisions in 88% of Artery Blockages

      Abbott (NYSE: ABT ) today announced new data from the company's LightLab Initiative that showed optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging significantly changes how physicians decide to treat a vessel compared to traditional angiography by providing physicians improved visualization within a patient's blood vessels. Data from the study revealed physicians altered their treatment strategy in 88% of coronary artery blockages based on new information provided by OCT. Using laser technology, OCT captures high-resolution images inside a patient's arteries, displaying the type and severity of disease in the vessel, as well as enabling more accurate measurements to determine how the ...

      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans can be used to diagnose and evaluate the effectiveness of various treatments and therapies for patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of severe visual impairment in the developed world. While there are treatments for some forms of wet AMD there is nothing to help the vast majority of patients suffering from the dry or degenerative form of AMD. One of the major obstacles in the development of an effective treatment is the inability to detect objective criteria that would either herald further progression of the disease or identify aspects that suggest improvement ...
