1 CLINICAL SCIENCES Agreement of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II Macula Edema Module With Fundus Biomicroscopy in Diabetic Maculopathy Mila Kisilevsky, MD; Christopher Hudson, PhD; John G. Flanagan, PhD; Ravi Krishna Nrusimhadevara, MD; Kit Guan, OD; Tien Wong, BSc; Mark Mandelcorn, MD; Wai-Ching Lam, MD; Robert G. Devenyi, MD Objectives: To estimate the agreement between the macular edema maps (MEMs) of the Retina Module of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) and contact lens fundus biomicroscopy (FB) and to assess the influence of combining MEM data with the results of short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and fluorescein angiography (FA) on diagnostic test performance. Design: Prospective, observational case series. Methods: Twenty patients (2 eyes) with diabetic retinopathy with or without clinically manifest macular edema (11 and 9 eyes, respectively) were enrolled. All patients underwent full ophthalmologic examination and also MEM assessment, SWAP, and FA. Results: Using FB as the gold standard, the agreement between the MEMs and FB was very good (Kendall coefficient of concordance,.8). Macular edema maps showed good agreement with FA and SWAP (Kendall coefficient,.64 and.65). Virtually all of the edematous areas detected with MEM but not seen clinically had decreased sensitivity on SWAP and/or fluorescein leakage. Conclusions: Macular edema maps demonstrated very good agreement with FB. Combining the results of FA and SWAP with those of the MEMs provided supporting evidence of concomitant blood-retinal barrier leakage and visual dysfunction, respectively, in areas of early retinal thickening. Prospective studies are ongoing to fully assess the diagnostic test performance of MEMs in the detection of early and progressive diabetic macular edema.

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY IS the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the working population of Western countries. 1 Macular edema in particular remains the most common cause of visual impairment and blindness among people with diabetes. 2,3 The current clinical gold standard for the detection of diabetic macular edema (DME) is contact lens stereo fundus biomicroscopy (FB), but subtle changes in retinal thickness are difficult to detect and it is even more challenging to determine change in retinal thickening over time. 4 The first-choice treatment currently available for DME is laser photocoagulation, which is implemented when there is a threat of central vision loss. 5 Conventional laser treatment is effective but may cause complications such as visible laser scars that can enlarge, 6 choroidal neovascularization, 7 and visual field loss. 8 There are 2 possible approaches to reduce potential adverse effects of laser treatment. One is to use less destructive treatment such as subthreshold diode micropulse laser photocoagulation. 9 The other is to improve the accuracy of edema diagnosis, which will allow the start of treatment earlier and the application of photocoagulation in a more precise manner to a smaller area of retina. In fact, the combination of both approaches promises to improve the overall outcome of laser treatment. Furthermore, validation of any new treatment modality in clinical trials will require shorter follow-up periods and smaller sample sizes if objective, sensitive, and reliable techniques for the detection and monitoring of DME are available. Any new technique for the quantitative assessment of DME needs to have a similar, and ideally improved, diagnostic test performance to that of clinical examination. Tong and coworkers 1 have proposed the use of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) as a screening modality for the detection of sightthreatening diabetic maculopathy and a new scoring system for macular image assessment. The authors reported high specificity and good sensitivity of HRT topographic assessment in a group of diabetic (REPRINTED) ARCH OPHTHALMOL / VOL 124, MAR Downloaded From: on 7/2/ American Medical Association.

2 METHODS r = 15 µm r = 1 µm r = 5 µm Figure 1. Nine-sector grid used for the assessment of macular edema map images. patients with heterogenous retinopathy characteristics. 1 Other studies from our laboratory using the edema index methodology have demonstrated good spatial agreement between areas of elevated edema index and clinically detected areas of retinal thickening in diabetic patients. 11 In addition, we have demonstrated good correlation of the HRT edema index with change of visual function, including logmar visual acuity, conventional automated static perimetry, and short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) in patients undergoing grid laser treatment for clinically significant macular edema. 12 Furthermore, SWAP has been shown to be a sensitive tool for the detection of DME. In many cases, the localized field loss detected by SWAP corresponded to, but was greater than, the area of edema on clinical mapping. 13 The macular edema maps (MEMs) of the Retina Module of the HRT II were subsequently developed. More recently, the HRT II MEMs have been demonstrated to offer improved sensitivity (and comparable specificity) in the detection of DME when compared with the Retinal Thickness Analyzer. 14 The HRT II MEMs have been demonstrated to have good repeatability in patients with diabetic retinopathy and edema. 14 In our experience, however, MEMs tend to detect larger areas of edema than clinical assessment and also on occasion show elevated edema index values in patients without any clinically evident retinal thickening. 14 We hypothesized that the assessment of visual function (ie, SWAP) and bloodretinal barrier integrity (ie, fluorescein angiography [FA]) in cases of controversy between MEMs and clinical assessment may help to confirm or deny the validity of the MEM findings. The aims of the study were to estimate the agreement of the MEMs with contact lens stereo FB and to assess the influence of combining MEM data with the results of SWAP and FA on diagnostic test performance. We compared the results of MEMs with contact lens stereo FB, FA, and SWAP in a group of diabetic patients with and without clinically evident DME. Diabetic patients were enrolled from the retina clinics at the Toronto Western Hospital, University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario. The study was approved by the research ethics board of the University Health Network, University of Toronto, and the Office of Research Ethics, University of Waterloo, Ontario. The research followed the tenets set out in the Declaration of Helsinki. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. The sample comprised 2 patients (14 men, 6 women) with a mean±sd age of 59.15±7.1 years (range, years). Nineteen patients had type 2 diabetes, and 1 patient had type 1 diabetes. The mean±sd duration of diabetes was 15±8.8 years (range, 4-42 years). Inclusion criteria comprised mild-tomoderate diabetic retinopathy, an age range of 4 to 7 years, and a logmar visual acuity of.3 or better. Exclusion criteria comprised lenticular opacities that would impact substantially on fundus visualization, refractive error greater than ±6. diopter sphere and/or ±2.5 diopter cylinder, any other eye disorder or disease apart from diabetic retinopathy, previous laser treatment or surgery in the study eye, a family history of glaucoma in a first-degree relative, central nervous system or psychiatric diseases, systemic medications with known central nervous system effects, and unreliable automated perimetry results as defined by the Humphrey Field Analyzer II (Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc, Dublin, Calif). All patients underwent a full ophthalmologic evaluation, including logmar visual acuity and refraction, slitlamp examination with contact lens stereo FB, FA, SWAP, and HRT II MEM. Pupillary dilation using 1.% Mydriacyl (Alcon, Fort Worth, Tex) was undertaken for all procedures apart from logmar visual acuity and refraction. All tests but FA were performed on the same day. One eye of each patient was randomly assigned to the study. MEMs OF THE HRT II The HRT II is a confocal laser scanning system for the acquisition and analysis of 3-dimensional images of the posterior segment of the eye. The laser source employed in the HRT II is a diode laser with a wavelength of 67 nm. A 3-dimensional image is generated as a series of 16 to 64 consecutive and equidistant (ie, 16 images every 1 mm of scan depth) 2-dimensional optical section images. Each of the 2-dimensional images consists of picture elements. The scan field is Three sequential tomographic images are automatically scanned on initiation of image acquisition and are averaged to display a mean topography image. The edema index analysis developed by Flanagan and Hudson has been incorporated within the HRT II as part of the Retina Module. The HRT II Retina Module software computes reflectivity, topography, signal width, and edema maps. A full description of the edema index methodology has been detailed previously. 14 The image acquisition was performed by experienced operators and 3 sets (ie, 3 3 images) of HRT II images were obtained for each patient. The HRT II MEM images were subsequently assessed by an experienced MEM user. One of the 3 sets of images was chosen based on best image quality. The edema map was divided into 9 sectors using a grid formed by 3 concentric circles centered on the fovea and 4 radial lines extending outward from the innermost of these in the 45, 135, 225, and 315 meridians (9-Zone Analysis). The radius of the innermost circle was 5 µm, and the radii of the second and the third circles were 1 µm and 15 µm, respectively. The total field size for the analysis was approximately 1 in diameter (Figure 1). To minimize error in the positioning of the 9-sector grid on the MEM image, the foveal center was located on the basis of clinical and (REPRINTED) ARCH OPHTHALMOL / VOL 124, MAR Downloaded From: on 7/2/ American Medical Association.

This also ensured consistency in the positioning of the grid across all imaging modalities (FB, FA, and MEM) (Figure 2). The presence or absence of elevated edema index values was documented for each of the 9 sectors; 18 sectors (ie, 9 sectors 2 patients) were analyzed for the group as a whole. SHORT-WAVELENGTH AUTOMATED PERIMETRY The macular visual field of each patient was determined with program 1-2 of the Humphrey Field Analyzer II using shortwavelength stimulus parameters and a standard full-threshold strategy. All subjects had previously undertaken at least 1 SWAP field, thus minimizing learning effects. The SWAP was assessed using a pointwise horizontal and vertical hemifield asymmetry analysis that has been detailed previously, 11 thereby negating the influence of prereceptoral absorption. Abnormality was defined as 7 or more contiguous stimulus locations with statistically significant negative asymmetries. From the total of 68 stimulus locations, only 32 central points corresponding to a 1 field diameter were included in the comparative analysis. These 32 stimulus locations were divided into 9 predefined sectors approximately corresponding to the areas of the MEM (Figure 3). Each predefined sector comprised 4 points (4 points falling on the radial lines were double counted and included into the analysis of both adjacent areas). A given grid sector was considered abnormal if it contained at least 2 statistically significant points with negative SWAP asymmetry values, apart from the central 5-µm radius sector where only 1 abnormal point was required.

The 9-sector grid was overlaid on the sheet detailing the areas of retinal thickening to allocate the presence or absence of DME in each sector of the grid. FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY Fluorescein angiography was performed on all research patients. The interval between FA and the study tests was dictated by routine clinical care of the patient and ranged from the same day to 2 weeks (median, 8 weeks). Late phase and early phase angiograms were used to determine the presence and location of FA leakage according to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Research criteria. 15 All areas of leakage were drawn on an acetate sheet and sectors of involvement were documented in a similar manner to that of FB. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics such as mean, range, and standard deviation were calculated for case characteristics. Percentage of agreement and the Kendall coefficient of concordance were calculated using the pooled sectors to compare FB results with those of MEMs, SWAP, and FA. RESULTS Eleven patients had clinically evident macular edema and 9 patients had no edema by FB. Fourteen patients had an abnormal HRT II MEM. Fourteen patients had localized visual field loss using SWAP. Eleven patients had leakage on FA (Table 1). Across the group, on average 1.85 of 9 sectors were noted as abnormal on FB. Fluorescein angiography, MEMs, and SWAP detected more abnormal sectors than FB (Table 2). Table 2. Number of Areas Defined as Abnormal Test Total Abnormal Sectors, No. The HRT II MEMs and FB showed very good agreement in identifying areas with DME with a Kendall coefficient of concordance of.8 (P.1). There was substantial agreement between MEMs and FA (Kendall coefficient,.64; P.1) as well as between MEMs and SWAP (Kendall coefficient,.65; P.1) (Table 3). Comparing MEMs with FB as the gold standard, MEMs demonstrated a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 85%. The mean number of sectors without clinically evident retinal thickening and defined by MEMs as abnormal was 1.1 of 9. Similarly, FA detected a mean of 1.2 additional abnormal sectors while SWAP detected a mean of 1.75 sectors. The mean number of sectors with clinically evident retinal thickening and defined by MEMs as normal was.15 of 9, whereas for FA and SWAP, the mean numbers of normal sectors were 1.5 and.85, respectively (Table 4). Analyzing only the sectors that were detected as abnormal by MEMs but that did not show retinal thickening on FB, the localized SWAP sensitivity loss was observed in 13 of 22 such sectors and FA leakage in 9 of 22 sectors, and decreased SWAP sensitivity and/or FA leakage was observed in 16 of 22 sectors (Table 5).

The development of a reproducible, objective technique to identify retinal edema and to monitor change in edema is widely recognized to be essential for the improved clinical management of DME per se and for the evaluation of new therapeutic protocols. 16 Currently available imaging technologies to assess DME include optical coherence tomography (OCT), the Retinal Thickness Analyzer, and the Macular Edema Module of the HRT II. Optical coherence tomography is widely used for the assessment of macular disease with different etiologies. Optical coherence tomography has very good agreement with contact lens FB, 17 although it has been reported to be prone to artifacts arising in the process of macular surface map reconstruction. 18 The Retinal Thickness Analyzer works on the principle of slitlamp FB and in our experience shows poor sensitivity and moderate specificity in the assessment of the retinal thickness of diabetic patients. 14 (REPRINTED) ARCH OPHTHALMOL / VOL 124, MAR Downloaded From: on 7/2/ American Medical Association.

The Macular Edema Module generates an edema index that reflects increase in retinal thickness and reduction in retinal reflectivity due to changes in retinal refractive index in areas of edema. The reliance of the Macular Edema Module technique on 2 optical principles for the detection of edema is thought to increase the sensitivity. 11 Compared to OCT, the HRT II has inferior axial resolution; however, it has far superior spatial resolution and thereby avoids the undersampling in the periphery of the image that is inherent in the OCT macular maps. This study and previous work from our laboratory 14 demonstrated that MEMs offer very good sensitivity and similar specificity in detecting macular edema compared to FB. The Macular Edema Module generates high spatial resolution topographic edema maps and, unlike any of the current imaging technologies, offers facility for the precise alignment of images acquired over successive visits, an essential feature for any sequential analysis. The extent to which all imaging technologies are influenced by the ocular media, corneal drying, and excessive eye movements is uncertain, but experience suggests that such factors impact the diagnostic test performance of every modality. The lower specificity of MEMs when compared with FB may be due to the fact that the Macular Edema Module detects edema-related changes that are not yet clinically manifest using FB. The failure of FB to correlate with alternative objective techniques for the assessment of retinal thickness has been reported by previous investigators. 17,19 Brown et al 17 proposed the term subclinical edema for such cases. The assessment of the blood-retinal barrier integrity and short-wavelength pathway function in areas of possible subclinical DME was used in our study to validate the MEM results. The presence of edema suggests blood-retinal barrier breakdown, and areas of retinal edema largely, although not completely, coincide with areas of fluorescein leakage. Similarly, localized SWAP sensitivity loss has been shown to correspond with the clinical mapping of the area of DME, but the extent of this loss was found to be generally greater than that suggested by clinical assessment. 13 Although SWAP visual field defects in diabetic maculopathy may also be caused by ischemic damage in the absence of DME, 2 the larger area of defect most likely reflects subtle changes in retinal thickness, particularly given the clinical characteristics of the patients described in this study.

This approach allowed more precise assessment of MEMs and a topographic comparison of different techniques used for the detection of abnormality associated with the occurrence of DME. Macular edema maps showed excellent agreement with FB but tended to show a greater extent of abnormality. Almost all sectors identified as abnormal using MEMs but normal with FB and revealed some abnormality on SWAP and/or FA, suggesting the presence of functional and structural changes. Thus, combining the findings of FA and SWAP with the MEM scans provided supporting evidence of abnormality in areas of subclinical retinal edema. Ideally, a prospective study with a larger group of patients will determine whether these positive MEM findings will progress to clinically evident retinal edema. Such a study, also incorporating OCT, is currently in progress in our laboratory. (REPRINTED) ARCH OPHTHALMOL / VOL 124, MAR Downloaded From: on 7/2/ American Medical Association.
