  Near-infrared (NIR) targeting contrast agents have been investigated as great photoabsorbers to improve photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), OCT, and fluorescence imaging contrast for visualization of various diseases. In ophthalmology, a limited number of NIR contrast agents have been approved for clinical use. Recently, gold nanoparticles with different size and shapes have been developed for molecular imaging. This chapter provides the principles of multimodality PAM, OCT, and fluorescence imaging as well as a brief overview of contrast agents for optical imaging. A detailed protocol for the fabrication of discrete colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs), synthesis of functionalized RGD-conjugated chain-like GNP (CGNP) clusters labeled ...

  Tissue contrast in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is generated by the intrinsic characteristics that are proportional to the density, size, and shape of tissue microstructures. Extraction of tissue optical properties from OCT images is therefore a generic method for obtaining quantitative information about tissue microstructure. The sensitivity and specificity of conventional OCT by assessing morphology only for melanoma detection is lower than anticipated. The aggregation of the predominant optical properties that contribute to OCT image formation diminishes the specificity of melanoma detection due to interrelationships of these properties. Importantly, the optical properties come at no additional cost as they ...

4. The role of optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis of afferent visual pathway problems: A neuroophthalmic perspective (Book Chapter)
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Apr 10 2021 Neurology , Ophthalmology , Textbooks
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive ocular imaging technique that has become a standard tool in neuroophthalmic practice. Specifically, OCT captures retinal manifestations of neuroaxonal injury caused by lesions along anterior and posterior regions of the afferent visual pathway, in patients presenting with vision loss. More recently, the advent of OCT angiography (OCTA) has enabled evaluation of the choroidal and retinal microvasculature, thus informing our understanding regarding vascular mechanisms associated with optic nerve and retinal injuries. Much of our longitudinal experience with OCT in the field of neuroophthalmology has been acquired from the study of optic neuritis (ON) caused ...

7. Integrated Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography in Pediatric Glaucoma Surgery (Textbook)
  
  Explore Karger Publishers Feb 17 2021 Ophthalmology , Textbooks
  
  The advent of integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (i 2 OCT) has opened the door for safer and more complex surgeries in the retina and cornea. However, to limit its use to just two subspecialties within ophthalmology is an opportunity lost for many other subspecialties. Here, we describe the use of i 2 OCT in pediatric glaucoma surgery. It can be used to identify Schlemm’s canal, Barkan’s membrane, demonstrate the corneal pathology in Haab’s striae, and iris hypoplasia in cases of Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly. It can help identify drainage blebs that are filtering and those that are not ...

8. Optical Coherence Tomography in Retinopathy of Prematurity (Book Chapter)
  
  Explore Home - Springer Jan 25 2021 Ophthalmology , Textbooks
  
  Retinopathy of prematurity is a vasoproliferative condition characterized by abnormal vascularization of the retina which may lead to tractional retinal detachment. Timely screening and treatment with laser and/or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents help prevent blindness. While bedside indirect ophthalmoscopy remains the gold standard for screening, optical coherence tomography has emerged as a new modality for understanding the pathogenesis of retinopathy of prematurity, providing in-vivo monitoring, and evaluating subclinical findings. This chapter provides an overview of optical coherence tomography in retinopathy of prematurity, including available models and adjustments in the neonatal population, differences between preterm, term and adult foveal ...

9. Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (Textbook)
  
  Explore Karger Publishers Dec 16 2020 Ophthalmology , Textbooks
  
  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive, rapid, and 3-dimensional evaluation of retinal vasculature well-suited for the evaluation of the microvasculopathy of diabetes. It visualizes the key clinical features of diabetic retinopathy (DR), including microaneurysms, non-perfusion, neovascularization, and capillary dilation. Several studies quantifying non-perfusion metrics in DR have demonstrated significant correlation between levels of retinopathy with these metrics. Segmentation schema, projection artifacts, image resolution, and signal strength remain a challenge, and careful attention to these and other technical issues is required for understanding the application of quantitative OCTA in DR.

  The choroid in high myopia is markedly thin compared to normal eyes. Choroidal thickness is negatively correlated with severity of myopic maculopathy from tessellated fundus to macular diffuse choroidal atrophy. However, there is no significant difference in choroidal thickness between eyes with macular diffuse choroidal atrophy and patchy choroidal atrophy. By using swept-source OCT, macular Bruch’s membrane defects in patchy atrophy and CNV-related macular atrophy have also been shown. Using receiver operating characteristic curve, the cut-off value of 56.5 μm for the nasal choroidal thickness (3000 μm from fovea) is able to predict peripapillary diffuse choroidal atrophy from ...

  Optical imaging is a pillar in biomedical research from super-resolution microscopy to whole-body imaging in animal models. Optical imaging covers such a large field that it is difficult to decide what was the first medical application .Could it be said that the introduction of spectacles in 1270, in Florence, Italy was the first use of optical imaging in medicine? Or the introduction in 1590 of the compound microscope by the father and son team of Hans and Zacharias Janssen in the Netherlands? It is more likely that optical imaging (as understood by the general scientific community) and the application of ...
