      Automated delineation of corneal layers on OCT images using a boundary-guided CNN
      Accurate segmentation of corneal layers depicted on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is very helpful for quantitatively assessing and diagnosing corneal diseases ( e.g ., keratoconus and dry eye). In this study, we presented a novel boundary-guided convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture (BG-CNN) to simultaneously extract different corneal layers and delineate their boundaries. The developed BG-CNN architecture used three convolutional blocks to construct two network modules on the basis of the ...

      A high-accuracy and high-efficiency digital volume correlation method to characterize in-vivo optic nerve head biomechanics from optical coherence tomography
      In-vivo optic nerve head (ONH) biomechanics characterization is emerging as a promising way to study eye physiology and pathology. We propose a high-accuracy and high-efficiency digital volume correlation (DVC) method for the purpose of characterizing the in-vivo ONH deformation from volumes acquired by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Using a combination of synthetic tests and analysis of OCTs from monkey ONHs subjected to acute and chronically elevated intraocular pressure, we demonstrate ...

      Background/objectives: To evaluate the presence and evolution of fluid in non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) through serial OCT. Subjects/methods: A retrospective analysis of eyes with non-exudative AMD with a minimum of 4 year follow-up was done. Parameters including intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF), and sub-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) fluid (SRPEF); subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and type of drusen were evaluated using optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans at ...

      Non invasive live imaging of a novel RPE stress model with Dynamic Full-Field OCT
      Retinal degenerative diseases lead to the blindness of millions of people around the world. In case of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) precedes neural dystrophy. But as crucial as understanding both healthy and pathological RPE cell physiology is for those diseases, no current technique allows subcellular in vivo or in vitro live observation of this critical cell layer. To fill this gap, we propose ...

      En-face analysis of short posterior ciliary arteries crossing the sclera to choroid using wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography
      To study the topographic distribution of the short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCA) entry sites into the choroid in normal eyes using structural en-face swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Retrospective analysis of SS-OCT scans (wide-field structural SS-OCT 12 12 mm) of 13 healthy subjects was performed. Cross-sectional swept-source OCT scans derived from a volume scan were represented as en-face image display following the Choroid-Scleral Interface to obtain en-face OCT. SPCAs ...

      Objective The objective of this study was to assess the structuralfunctional relationship in choroideremia (CHM) patients using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and autofluorescence (AF) images. Methods In this study, 53 eyes of 28 CHM patients were included. Demographic, ocular and clinical fundus features were recorded. Fundus AF and OCT images were analysed. Patients were classified into two groups based on AF features: group 1, CHM patients where the foveal island ...

      Measuring 3D Optic Nerve Head Deformations using Digital Volume Correlation of in vivo Optical Coherence Tomography Data (Thesis)
      The optic nerve head (ONH), located in the back of the eye, is a critical site in understanding the pathophysiology of glaucoma. However, longitudinal changes of the ONH as disease develops have not been well characterized. Our goal was to develop an improved tool to quantify these changes in an in vivo monkey model of glaucoma. Longitudinal spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the ONH was performed every other ...

      Curved-field optical coherence tomography: large-field imaging of human corneal cells and nerves
      Cell-resolution optical imaging methods, such as confocal microscopy and full-field optical coherence tomography, capture flat optical sections of the sample. If the sample is curved, the optical field sections through several sample layers, and the view of each layer is reduced. Here we present curved-field optical coherence tomography, capable of capturing optical sections of arbitrary curvature. We test the device on a challenging task of imaging the human cornea in ...
