Quantification of an oval optic disc in relation to myopic foveoschisis using swept-source optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the relationship between an oval optic disc and the occurrence of myopic foveoschisis (MF) using swept-source optic coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods

Fifty eyes of 25 patients with unilateral MF were included in this retrospective observational study. The biometric features of the optic disc and peripapillary structures were evaluated using SS-OCT.

Results

The ovality index (OI) of the optic disc was significantly smaller (P = 0.003) and the optic disc tilt angle was greater (P = 0.023) in the eyes with MF than in the contralateral eyes. The optic disc tilt angle was significantly correlated with the OI (P = 0.000). Generalized estimating equation (GEE) model (linear regression) demonstrated that spherical equivalent refraction (P = 0.001), narrow macular staphyloma (P = 0.001) and the occurrence of MF (P = 0.026) were the independent factors associated with the OI. Narrow macular staphyloma was more frequent (P = 0.020) and the staphyloma was deeper (P = 0.006) in eyes with MF. GEE model (logistic regression) revealed that narrow macular staphyloma was the only independent factor related to the occurrence of MF (P = 0.013).

Conclusions

An oval optic disc in eyes with MF resulted from the increased tilt around the vertical disc axis. The optic disc tilt was related to narrow macular staphyloma, which was the only independent factor associated with the occurrence of MF. The clinical relevance needs further exploration through longitudinal analysis.

Project description:PurposeTo demonstrate papillary imaging of eyes with optic disc pits (ODP) or optic disc pit associated maculopathy (ODP-M) with ultrahigh-speed swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) at 1.68 million A-scans/s. To generate 3D-renderings of the papillary area with 3D volume-reconstructions of the ODP and highly resolved en face images from a single densely-sampled megahertz-OCT (MHz-OCT) dataset for investigation of ODP-characteristics.MethodsA 1.68 MHz-prototype SS-MHz-OCT system at 1050 nm based on a Fourier-domain mode-locked laser was employed to acquire high-definition, 3D datasets with a dense sampling of 1600 × 1600 A-scans over a 45° field of view. Six eyes with ODPs, and two further eyes with glaucomatous alteration or without ocular pathology are presented. 3D-rendering of the deep papillary structures, virtual 3D-reconstructions of the ODPs and depth resolved isotropic en face images were generated using semiautomatic segmentation.Results3D-rendering and en face imaging of the optic disc, ODPs and ODP associated pathologies showed a broad spectrum regarding ODP characteristics. Between individuals the shape of the ODP and the appending pathologies varied considerably. MHz-OCT en face imaging generates distinct top-view images of ODPs and ODP-M. MHz-OCT generates high resolution images of retinal pathologies associated with ODP-M and allows visualizing ODPs with depths of up to 2.7 mm.ConclusionsDifferent patterns of ODPs can be visualized in patients for the first time using 3D-reconstructions and co-registered high-definition en face images extracted from a single densely sampled 1050 nm megahertz-OCT (MHz-OCT) dataset. As the immediate vicinity to the SAS and the site of intrapapillary proliferation is located at the bottom of the ODP it is crucial to image the complete structure and the whole depth of ODPs. Especially in very deep pits, where non-swept-source OCT fails to reach the bottom, conventional swept-source devices and the MHz-OCT alike are feasible and beneficial methods to examine deep details of optic disc pathologies, while the MHz-OCT bears the advantage of an essentially swifter imaging process.

Project description:ObjectiveTo develop an algorithm for automated quantification of Haller's layer in choroid using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT).BackgroundSo far, to understand the association of various diseases with structural changes of choroid, only gross indicators such as thickness, volume and vascularity index have been examined. However, certain diseases affect specific sublayers of the choroid. Accordingly, a need for targeted quantitation arises. In particular, there is significant interest in understanding Haller's layer, a choroidal sublayer comprising relatively large blood vessels. Unfortunately, its intricate vasculature makes, manual quantitation difficult, tedious, and error-prone. To surmount this difficulty, it is imperative to develop an algorithmic method.MethodologyThe primary contribution of this work consists in developing an approach for detecting the boundary between Haller's and Sattler's layers, the latter comprising medium-sized vessels. The proposed algorithm estimates vessel cross-sections using exponentiation-based binarization, and labels a vessel large if its cross-section exceeds certain statistically determined threshold. Finally, the desired boundary is obtained as a smooth curve joining the innermost points of such large vessels. On 50 OCT B-scans (of 50 healthy eyes), our algorithm was validated both qualitatively and quantitatively, by comparing with intra-observer variability. Extensive statistical analysis was performed using metrics including Dice coefficient (DC), correlation coefficient (CC) and absolute difference (AD).ResultsThe proposed algorithm achieved a mean DC of 89.48% (SD:5.03%) in close agreement with the intra-observer repeatability of 89.12% (SD:5.68%). Corresponding mean AD and mean CC were of 17.54 μm (SD:16.45μm) and 98.10% (SD:1.60%) which too approximate the respective intra-observer repeatability values 19.19 μm (SD:17.69 μm) and 98.58% (SD:1.12%).ConclusionHigh correlation between algorithmic and manual delineations indicates suitability of our algorithm for clinically analyzing choroid in greater finer details, especially, in diseased eyes.

Project description:BackgroundChanges in retinal and choroidal structures are key biomarkers for predicting, diagnosing, and monitoring various ocular conditions, including myopia.ObjectiveTo assess the characteristics of the retinal and choroidal thicknesses in myopic young adult males using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT).MethodsThis cross-sectional comparative study included 198 young adults with a mean age of 21.87 ± 1.69 years, only male subjects were recruited for this study, comprising 102 diagnosed with myopia and 96 with emmetropia. Refraction was assessed using an autorefractometer, and comprehensive SSOCT scans were conducted to measure the thickness of the retina and choroid at nine predefined locations. Data analysis focused on identifying significant patterns and correlations between myopia and retinal and choroidal thickness.ResultsMyopic subjects with a mean of -2.66 ± 1.59D exhibited significantly decreased retinal thickness compared to emmetropic with a mean of 0.18 ± 0.39D, (p < 0.01). Similarly, their choroidal thickness was also significantly thinner (p < 0.01). The findings showed a weak but statistically significant inverse correlation between retinal thickness and the spherical equivalent of myopia (r = -0.257, p < 0.01). Correspondingly, a stronger inverse correlation was observed between choroidal thickness and the spherical equivalent of myopia (r = -0.306, p < 0.01). Choroidal thickness in all studied areas showed an inverse correlation with the degree of myopia (p < 0.05), except in the superior outer region, where the association was not statistically significant (p = 0.056).ConclusionThe study identified significant differences in the retinal and choroidal structures between myopic and emmetropic individuals. The use of SSOCT effectively detected these morphological changes in myopic young adults, offering valuable insights into myopia's pathophysiology and potentially guiding targeted therapeutic strategies for myopia control.
