Course # 140 Getting to Know Your OCT
Course Title: Lecturer: Getting to Know Your OCT Brad Sutton, OD, FAAO IU School of Optometry Financial Disclosures No financial disclosures Optical Coherence Tomography-OCT Has changed the way the eye is examined & treated. Has revolutionized the diagnosis & therapy of eye disease. Allows for earlier and more sensitive diagnosis. Allows for better understanding of disease mechanisms OCT 1991 James Fujimoto at MIT Original research instrument 400 A-scans / second Current SD-OCT: around 27,000 to 50,000 A-scans / sec Current Swept Source-OCT up to 249,000 A-scans / sec. Commercial units about 100,000 per second OCT angiography So how did we get here? OCT First commercial OCT company in 1992: Advanced Ophthalmic Devices Sold on August 27 th of 1993 to Humphrey- Now Carl Zeiss Meditech First commercial OCT from them in 1996 OCT By 2008, Zeiss had sold 10,000 OCT s Now, there are 8 companies that manufacture OCT s commercially 1
Different Companies and Prices OCT Stratus: $53,000 (lower refurbished) Cirrus: $70-75,000 ( new unit with SD- OCT, fundus camera, and FAF?$) OptoVue (I Vue and RTVue): $40,000 - $60,000 Heidelberg Spectralis: $80,000: FAF Topcon: has fundus camera, OPTOS Some have no normative data in vivo histology Working mechanism: similar to B scan (optical vs. acoustic reflectivity) but uses infrared light Resolution: < 10 microns (Stratus OCT III), 3-5 microns with SD and SS technology Different optical reflectivity in various tissue structures: false color map. Often best to view in black and white for fine detail Courtesy Dan Hammer, PSI Image quality Poor signal strength equates to unreliable readings, only use 7 and above Images and reliability can be negatively impacted by media opacities, high myopia, patient movement, highly abnormal disc sizes, and segmentation errors (very important!) Beware red disease, split NFL bundles for example Average RNFL loss of about 1 micron / year Importance of normative database Cirrus normative database Typically take demographic factors in to account, but not refractive error. This can be very important with high myopes, who will have thinner NFL than their counterparts with equal demographics Composition of normative database also very important 284 individuals Age 18 to 84 Refractive error +8.00 to -12:00 43% Caucasian 24% Asian 18% African American 12% Hispanic 1% Indian Small amount of others combined 2
Spectral Domain OCT Cirrus OCT Easier to use. Faster (1/75 the time it takes TD). Greater resolution (3-5 Microns vs.10) Larger scan area (6mm X 6mm). Can create three dimensional cubed images. Precise registration (can follow the exact retinal area each visit). 3 D retinal layer segmentation maps. Focus range of +/- 20 diopters: Loaded at original patient entry EDI Cube ERM (different patients) with Stratus and Cirrus OCT AMD LSLO fundus image with overlay of retinal thickness map High Myopia with ICSC 3D layer segmentation maps provide detailed visualization of histology and pathology Precise location of raster lines indicated on LSLO fundus image 3D retinal thickness map 3D segmentation of RPE layer 3D segmentation of ILM and RPE layers Courtesy of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, Florida Courtesy of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, Florida 3

Line seen at junction of inner and outer segments of the photoreceptors Extremely useful for evaluating disease state and visual potential Ophthalmology calls it the ellipsoid line or ellipsoid zone Swept Source OCT Adaptive Optics (Images courtesy of Dr. Steve Burns) Twice as fast (twice as many A-scans / second) as SD OCT Allows for wide field imaging (12mm vs. 6-9 mm). Easily gets ONH and macula in the same scan Longer wavelength of light, so can image much more effectively through media opacities, and penetrates much better in to the choroid (2.6 mm depth vs. 2.3mm) 4
