Segmentation error in spectral domain optical coherence tomography measures of the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in idiopathic intracranial hypertension.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging is being increasingly used in clinical practice for the monitoring of papilloedema. The aim is to characterise the extent and location of the Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) Thickness automated segmentation error (SegE) by manual refinement, in a cohort of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) patients with papilloedema and compare this to controls. METHODS:Baseline Spectral Domain OCT (SDOCT) scans from patients with IIH, and controls with no retinal or optic nerve pathology, were examined. The internal limiting membrane and RNFL thickness of the most severely affected eye was examined for SegE and re-segmented. Using ImageJ, the total area of the RNFL thickness was calculated pre and post re-segmentation and the percentage change was determined. The distribution of RNFL thickness error was qualitatively assessed. RESULTS:Significantly greater SegE (p =?0.009) was present in RNFL thickness total area, assessed using ImageJ, in IIH patients (n =?46, 5%?±?0-58%) compared to controls (n =?14, 1%?±?0-6%). This was particularly evident in moderate to severe optic disc swelling (n =?23, 10%?±?0-58%, p
