      Volumetric quantification of choroid and Haller's sublayer using OCT scans: An accurate and unified approach based on stratified smoothing
      Background and objective: The choroid, a dense vascular structure in the posterior segment of the eye, maintains the health of the retina by supplying oxygen and nutrients, and assumes clinical significance in screening ocular diseases including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). As a technological assist, algorithmic estimation of choroidal biomarkers has been suggested based on sectional (B-scan) optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. However, most such 2D ...

      Dynamic full-field optical coherence tomography allows live imaging of retinal pigment epithelium stress model
      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 ...

      Prediction of Neoplastic Progression in Barrett’s Esophagus Using Nanoscale Nuclear Architecture Mapping: A Pilot Study
      Background and Aims Nanoscale nuclear architecture mapping (nanoNAM), an optical coherence tomography-derived approach, is capable of detecting with nanoscale sensitivity, structural alterations in the chromatin of epithelial cell nuclei at risk for malignant transformation. Since these alterations predate the development of dysplasia, we aimed to utilize nanoNAM to identify patients with Barretts esophagus (BE) who progress to high grade dysplasia (HGD) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Methods This is a nested ...

      En face optical coherence tomography transillumination for evaluation of retinal pigment epithelium alteration in central serous chorioretinopathy: correlation with multimodal imaging
      Purpose: To study optical coherence tomography (OCT) en face imaging approach to evaluate retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alteration in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods: Forty eyes with CSC were imaged with structural en face OCT, fluorescein angiography (FA), and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). Structural en face OCT projections were generated using a 200-m slab with the inner limit at the outer choroid to register choroidal hypertransmission signal in transillumination manner. Two ...

      Evaluation of Choroidal Thickness Using Optical Coherent Tomography: A Review
      The choroid is the main source of blood and nourishment supply to the eye. The dysfunction of the choroid has been implicated in various retinal and choroidal diseases. The identification and in-depth understanding of pachychoroid spectrum disorders are based on the tremendous progress of optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology in recent years, although visibility of choroid is challenging in the era of the time or spectral domain OCT. The recent ...

      Integrated Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography during Scleral Pass in Strabismus Surgery
      We describe a novel application of integrated intraoperative OCT (iiOCT) to strabismus surgery during the scleral pass and demonstrate it to be a useful tool. A number of complications can arise from inappropriate scleral pass depth during strabismus surgery, leading to an increased risk of unwanted complications including endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, and a lost or slipped muscle. Our study demonstrated that the use of iiOCT provides easy to interpret, real-time ...

      Circular functional analysis of OCT data for precise identification of structural phenotypes in the eye
      Progressive optic neuropathies such as glaucoma are major causes of blindness globally. Multiple sources of subjectivity and analytical challenges are often encountered by clinicians in the process of early diagnosis and clinical management of these diseases. In glaucoma, the structural damage is often characterized by neuroretinal rim (NRR) thinning of the optic nerve head, and other clinical parameters. Baseline structural heterogeneity in the eyes can play a key role in ...

      EE-Net: An edge-enhanced deep learning network for jointly identifying corneal micro-layers from optical coherence tomography
      Accurate delineation of the corneal micro-layers depicted on optical coherence tomography (OCT) plays an important role in computerized detection and diagnosis of various corneal diseases ( e.g. , keratoconus and dry eye). In this study, we present a novel edge-enhanced convolutional neural network termed EE-Net to automatically delineate three corneal micro-layers from OCT images at the same time, including the epithelium layer, Bowmans layer, and stroma layer. We innovatively introduced a ...

      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 ...
