Automatic Determination of the Center of Macular Hole Using Optical Coherence Tomography En Face Images.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the automated determination of the center of an idiopathic macular hole (MH) by using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) images with new macro-based algorithms in ImageJ and to compare the difference between the MH center measurements obtained automatically and manually. This cross-sectional study included 39 eyes of 39 elderly individuals (22 women, 17 men) with stage 3 and 4 MH. The MH center was automatically determined using the ImageJ macro. The foveal center was also manually identified by two masked examiners using horizontal and vertical serial B-scan OCT angiography images. The mean age was 68.8 ± 8.3 years. After adjusting for the effect of magnification, the mean distance between the MH center determined manually by Examiner 1 and that determined automat
