      Usefulness of Polarization-sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography-derived Attenuation-coefficient Images to Visualize the Internal Structure of the Filtering Bleb
      Purpose/Aim of the study Polarization-sensitive anterior-segmental optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is useful to evaluate the filtering blebs after trabeculectomy. However, the attenuation phenomenon of OCT signal disturbs the visibility of intra-blebs structure and distribution of birefringence; a specific parameter of PS-OCT. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the attenuation-coefficient image of the filtering blebs. Materials and methods This study included 25 eyes 6 months after TLE. The ...

      Detection of enamel subsurface lesions by swept-source optical coherence tomography
      This study aimed to non-destructively analyze the progression of subsurface enamel caries using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), a recently developed imaging analysis modality. Artificial enamel caries at various stages of demineralization were created in bovine tooth enamel using a modified lactic acid gel system. Untreated enamel served as a control. OCT images from cross-sections of enamel were collected. Mineral density, distribution, and histological changes were analyzed using an electron ...

      Optical coherence tomography angiography assessment of the macular capillary plexus after surgery for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
      Dear Editor, Macula-involved rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a condition that can cause severe central visual disturbance, even after successful retinal re-attachment. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) can measure vessel density (VD) in the macular capillary plexus (MCP), both superficially (the SCP) and deeply (the DCP), and can measure the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in these layers. Previous research used OCTA to evaluate the correlation between the FAZ and visual ...
