      Early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis by OCT analysis using Cohen's d method and a neural network as classifier
      Background The consequences of inflammation, demyelination, axonal degeneration and neuronal loss in the central nervous system, typical of the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), are manifested in thinning of the retina and optic nerve. The purpose of this work is to diagnose early-stage MS patients based on analysis of retinal layer thickness obtained by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Method OCT (Triton SS-OCT device -Topcon, Tokyo, Japan-) recordings were obtained ...

      Hyper-reflectivity on optical coherence tomography in macular telangiectasia type 2
      Purpose: To define, characterize and classify hyper-reflectivity on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and report its prevalence in macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel). Methods: In a primary cross-sectional analysis, multimodal imaging data were retrospectively analyzed. The definition of hyper-reflectivity and neovascularization on OCT followed OCT-angiography-based criteria. Eyes were graded for the presence of hyper-reflectivity and neovascularization and further categorized into three classes based on position and extent of hyper-reflectivity. In a ...

      Validation of an Automated Quantification of Relative Ellipsoid Zone Reflectivity on Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography Images
      Purpose : Relative ellipsoid zone reflectivity (rEZR) represents a potential biomarker of photoreceptor health on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Because manual quantification of rEZR is laborious and lacks of spatial resolution, automated quantification of the rEZR would be beneficial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of an automated rEZR quantification method. Methods : The rEZR was acquired using a manual and an automated approach in ...

      High Spatial Endothelial Shear Stress Gradient Independently Predicts Site of Acute Coronary Plaque Rupture and Erosion
      Aims To investigate local haemodynamics in the setting of acute coronary plaque rupture and erosion. Methods and Results Intracoronary optical coherence tomography performed in 37 patients with acute coronary syndromes caused by plaque rupture (n=19) or plaque erosion (n=18) was used for 3D reconstruction and computational fluid dynamic simulation. Endothelial shear stress (ESS), spatial ESS gradient (ESSG), and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were compared between plaque rupture and ...

      Prcis: Bruchs membrane opening-minimum rim width and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measures may be improved by comparing probability levels and accounting for blood vessel locations. Purpose: To understand the differences between two optical coherence tomography (OCT) measures of glaucomatous damage: the Bruchs membrane opening-minimum rim width ( BMO-MRW ) and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cRNFL) thickness.

      Quantitative Phase Imaging Using Digital Holographic Microscopy Reliably Assesses Morphology and Reflects Elastic Properties of Fibrotic Intestinal Tissue
      Intestinal strictures are a frequent complication in patients with Crohns Disease (CD) and the presence of fibrosis within strictures impacts the therapeutic treatment approach. Here, we evaluate quantitative phase imaging (QPI) using digital holographic microscopy (DHM) for the evaluation of fibrosis within CD strictures. 30 full thickness resection specimens were obtained from non-stenotic and stenotic tissue areas of 15 CD patients. Cryostat sections were analyzed by DHM to measure the ...

      Sample Size Requirements of Glaucoma Clinical Trials When Using Combined Optical Coherence Tomography and Visual Field Endpoints
      Glaucoma clinical trials using visual field (VF) endpoints currently require large sample sizes because of the slowly-progressive nature of this disease. We sought to examine whether the combined use of VF testing and non-invasive optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the neuroretinal tissue could improve the feasibility of such trials. To examine this, we included 192 eyes of 121 glaucoma participants seen at 5 visits over a 2-year period to ...

      Purpose To understand the added value of Bruchs membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) measurements to conventional circumpapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (cpRNFL) thickness measurements on optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging for discriminating between perimetric glaucoma and healthy eyes, evaluated through a qualitative evaluation. Methods 384 healthy eyes and 188 glaucoma eyes were evaluated, and glaucoma eyes were categorised as perimetric (n=107) based on a history of 3 consecutive abnormal ...

      Anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography
      We present a novel method to image the vasculature of the anterior segment of the eye using a non-invasive optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) system with a modified lens system. This system utilises the Heidelberg Spectralis OCTA and a 3D printed lens mount holding a simple biconvex lens in place to allow capture of images in the anterior segment.

      Optical coherence tomography: seeing the unseen
      ptical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that has revolutionised the way we detect and manage ocular disease. Quite simply, it allows the clinician to visualise ocular pathology previously not detectable or only evident in advanced disease. OCT has its roots in ultrafast laser‐activated shutters to photograph light echoes, which allowed the depth of objects to be captured. Duguay and Mattick 1 at ATT Bell Laboratories in 1971 ...

      Clozapine-Induced Myocarditis or Acute Coronary Syndrome? Optical Coherence Tomography to the Rescue
      Chest pain and troponin elevation may be due to an acute coronary syndrome, myocarditis, acute cardiomyopathy, or other less common conditions. Management differs depending on the aetiology, and the pathophysiologic diagnosis has direct implications on treatment and patient outcomes. History and clinical examination is supplemented by selected investigations including the electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and even myocardial perfusion scintigraphy or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Intravascular imaging can provide ...

      An Automated Method for Choroidal Thickness Measurement from Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography Images
      The choroid is vascular tissue located underneath the retina and supplies oxygen to the outer retina; any damage to this tissue can be a precursor to retinal diseases. This paper presents an automated method of choroidal segmentation from enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) images. The Dijkstra shortest path algorithm is used to segment the choroid-sclera interface (CSI), the outermost border of the choroid. A novel intensity-normalisation technique that ...
