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

Quantification of Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness on Optical Coherence Tomography with a Deep Learning Segmentation-Free Approach.

Project description:This study describes a segmentation-free deep learning (DL) algorithm for measuring retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT). The study included 25,285 B-scans from 1,338 eyes of 706 subjects. Training was done to predict RNFL thickness from raw unsegmented scans using conventional RNFL thickness measurements from good quality images as targets, forcing the DL algorithm to learn its own representation of RNFL. The algorithm was tested in three different sets: (1) images without segmentation errors or artefacts, (2) low-quality images with segmentation errors, and (3) images with other artefacts. In test set 1, segmentation-free RNFL predictions were highly correlated with conventional RNFL thickness (r = 0.983, P < 0.001). In test set 2, segmentation-free predictions had higher correlation with the best available estimate (tests with good quality taken in the same date) compared to those from the conventional algorithm (r = 0.972 vs. r = 0.829, respectively; P < 0.001). Segmentation-free predictions were also better in test set 3 (r = 0.940 vs. r = 0.640, P < 0.001). In conclusion, a novel segmentation-free algorithm to extract RNFL thickness performed similarly to the conventional method in good quality images and better in images with errors or other artefacts.

The Paediatric Glaucoma Diagnostic Ability of Optical Coherence Tomography: A Comparison of Macular Segmentation and Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness.

Project description:Paediatric glaucoma leads to a decreased thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) and of the macula. These changes can be precisely quantified using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Despite abundant reports in adults, studies on the diagnostic capacity of macular SD-OCT in paediatric glaucoma are rare. The aim of this study was to compare the glaucoma discriminative ability of pRNFL and macular segment thickness in paediatric glaucoma patients and healthy children. Data of 72 children aged 5-17 years (glaucoma: 19 (26.4%), healthy: 53 (73.6%)) examined with SD-OCT (SPECTRALIS®, Heidelberg Engineering) were analysed retrospectively. The thickness of pRNFL sectors and of macular segment subfields were compared between diseased and healthy participants. Areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity from logistic regression were used to evaluate the glaucoma discriminative capacity of single and combined pRNFL and macular segments' thickness. The results revealed a reduced thickness of the pRNFL and of the three inner macular layers in glaucoma patients, which correlates highly with the presence of glaucoma. The highest glaucoma discriminative ability was observed for the combination of pRNFL sectors or inner macular segments (AUC: 0.83 and 0.85, respectively), although sensitivity remained moderate (both 63% at 95% specificity). In conclusion, while confirmation from investigations in larger cohorts is required, SD-OCT-derived pRNFL and macular thickness measurements seem highly valuable for the diagnosis of paediatric glaucoma.

Positional independence of optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measurements with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate repeatability and positional independence of optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements in sitting and supine body positions using portable spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (iVue SD-OCT; Optovue Inc).DesignEvaluation of diagnostic technology.MethodsSixty eyes of 30 subjects (10 healthy younger adults aged 20-27 years, 10 healthy older adults aged 50-66 years, and 10 glaucoma patients aged 38-82 years) were included prospectively. For each participant, all measurements were taken in a single session. After 5 minutes in the supine position, 5 scans were obtained from both eyes. Following a 5-minute sitting adaptation, 5 scans were then obtained in the sitting position. The same instrument was used for all measurements. Repeatability and correlation between supine and sitting measurements of 4 ONH and 3 RNFL parameters were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), concordance correlation coefficients (ρ), and Bland-Altman plots.ResultsMeasurements were highly repeatable within individual eyes, both for ONH (ICC range, 73%-99%) and RNFL (ICC range, 72%-99%) parameters. The correlation between supine and sitting ONH measurements was strong and ranged from ρ = 97%-99% (younger healthy) to ρ = 98%-99% (older healthy) and ρ = 84%-99% (glaucoma). Bland-Altman plots indicated good agreement between sitting and supine readings of ONH and RNFL parameters.ConclusionsRepeatability of measurements of ONH and RNFL is high and measurements between sitting and supine are highly correlated. The ability of the iVue SD-OCT to evaluate ONH and RNFL parameters is good to excellent in both body positions.

Artifact Rates for 2D Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Versus 3D Neuroretinal Rim Thickness Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

Project description:PurposeTo compare the rates of clinically significant artifacts for two-dimensional peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness versus three-dimensional (3D) neuroretinal rim thickness using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).MethodsOnly one eye per patient was used for analysis of 120 glaucoma patients and 114 normal patients. For RNFL scans and optic nerve scans, 15 artifact types were calculated per B-scan and per eye. Neuroretinal rim tissue was quantified by the minimum distance band (MDB). Global MDB neuroretinal rim thicknesses were calculated before and after manual deletion of B-scans with artifacts and subsequent automated interpolation. A clinically significant artifact was defined as one requiring manual correction or repeat scanning.ResultsAmong glaucomatous eyes, artifact rates per B-scan were significantly more common in RNFL scans (61.7%, 74 of 120) compared to B-scans in neuroretinal rim volume scans (20.9%, 1423 of 6820) (95% confidence interval [CI], 31.6-50.0; P < 0.0001). For clinically significant artifact rates per eye, optic nerve scans had significantly fewer artifacts (15.8% of glaucomatous eyes, 13.2% of normal eyes) compared to RNFL scans (61.7% of glaucomatous eyes, 25.4% of normal eyes) (glaucoma group: 95% CI, 34.1-57.5, P < 0.0001; normal group: 95% CI, 1.3-23.3, P = 0.03).ConclusionsCompared to the most commonly used RNFL thickness scans, optic nerve volume scans less frequently require manual correction or repeat scanning to obtain accurate measurements.Translational relevanceThis paper illustrates the potential for 3D OCT algorithms to improve in vivo imaging in glaucoma.

Comparison of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measurement bias and imprecision across three spectral-domain optical coherence tomography devices.

Project description:PurposeWe compared retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) bias and imprecision among three spectral-domain optical coherence tomographs (SD-OCT).MethodsA total of 152 eyes of 83 subjects (96 healthy and 56 glaucomatous eyes) underwent peripapillary RNFL imaging using at least 2 of the following 3 SD-OCT devices on the same day: Cirrus HD-OCT (optic nerve head [ONH]) cube 200 × 200 protocol), RTVue-100 (ONH protocol [12 radial lines and 13 concentric circles]), and 3D OCT-1000 (3D Scan 256 × 256 protocol). Calibration equations, bias and imprecision of RNFL measurements were calculated using structural equation models.ResultsThe calibration equations for healthy and glaucoma RNFL thickness measurements among the 3 devices were: Cirrus = 2.136 + 0.831*RTVue; Cirrus = -15.521 + 1.056*3D OCT-1000; RTVue = -21.257 + 1.271*3D OCT-1000. Using Cirrus bias as an arbitrary reference, RTVue bias was 1.20 (95% CI 1.09-1.32, P < 0.05) times larger and 3D OCT-1000 was 0.95 (0.87-1.03, P > 0.05) times smaller. Relative to 3D OCT-1000, the RTVue bias was 1.27 (1.13-1.42, P < 0.05). RTVue imprecision (healthy eyes 7.83, 95% CI 6.43-9.58; glaucoma cases 5.71, 4.19-7.64) was statistically significantly higher than both Cirrus (healthy eyes 3.23, 2.11-4.31; glaucoma cases 3.53, 0.69-5.24) and 3D OCT-1000 (healthy eyes 4.07, 3.11-5.35; glaucoma cases 5.33, 3.77-7.67) in healthy eyes. The imprecision also was significantly higher for RTVue measurements in healthy compared to glaucomatous eyes. None of the other comparisons was statistically significant.ConclusionsRTVue-100 showed higher imprecision (or higher measurement variability) than Cirrus HD-OCT and 3D OCT-1000 RNFL measurements. Three-dimensional cube scanning with post-hoc data sampling may be a factor reducing imprecision.

Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness floor and corresponding functional loss in glaucoma.

Project description:To estimate the floor of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measurements and the corresponding retinal sensitivity loss in glaucoma.Visual field (VF), Spectralis RNFL (83 patients and 37 healthy subjects) and RTVue RNFL data obtained separately (56 patients and 36 healthy subjects) were reviewed. Global and quadrant residual layer thicknesses and corresponding VF losses were estimated using two Bayesian change point models.The respective residual thicknesses from change point model 1 (CPM1) on Spectralis and RTVue (respectively) were 49.9 and 70.6?µm globally, 57.1 and 83.7?µm superiorly, 55.2 and 79.0?µm inferiorly, 43.1 and 60.5?µm nasally, and 40.1 and 59.5?µm temporally. Corresponding VF losses ranged between -25.1 and -21.7?dB (Spectralis) and between -21.8 and -3.4?dB (RTVue). From CPM2, RNFL thinning reached horizontal asymptotes at VF losses between -18.0 and -10.7?dB (Spectralis) and between -12.1 and -2.5?dB (RTVue). There were no significant differences between postchange point residual layer thicknesses from CPM1 and CPM2 on Spectralis (37.0-50.8?µm vs 38.3-56.0?µm) and RTVue (60.6-80.5?µm vs 58.4-88.8?µm).Global RNFL thinning reaches the floor at a smaller VF loss level with Spectralis than with RTVue. The nasal and temporal quadrants retain thinner residual layers than superior and inferior quadrant RNFL. Measuring RNFL below their minimums will not yield useful clinical information.

Automated Segmentation Errors When Using Optical Coherence Tomography to Measure Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Glaucoma.

Project description:To characterize the error of optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness when using automated retinal layer segmentation algorithms without manual refinement.Cross-sectional study.This study was set in a glaucoma clinical practice, and the dataset included 3490 scans from 412 eyes of 213 individuals with a diagnosis of glaucoma or glaucoma suspect. We used spectral domain OCT (Spectralis) to measure RNFL thickness in a 6-degree peripapillary circle, and exported the native "automated segmentation only" results. In addition, we exported the results after "manual refinement" to correct errors in the automated segmentation of the anterior (internal limiting membrane) and the posterior boundary of the RNFL. Our outcome measures included differences in RNFL thickness and glaucoma classification (i.e., normal, borderline, or outside normal limits) between scans with automated segmentation only and scans using manual refinement.Automated segmentation only resulted in a thinner global RNFL thickness (1.6 μm thinner, P < .001) when compared to manual refinement. When adjusted by operator, a multivariate model showed increased differences with decreasing RNFL thickness (P < .001), decreasing scan quality (P < .001), and increasing age (P < .03). Manual refinement changed 298 of 3486 (8.5%) of scans to a different global glaucoma classification, wherein 146 of 617 (23.7%) of borderline classifications became normal. Superior and inferior temporal clock hours had the largest differences.Automated segmentation without manual refinement resulted in reduced global RNFL thickness and overestimated the classification of glaucoma. Differences increased in eyes with a thinner RNFL thickness, older age, and decreased scan quality. Operators should inspect and manually refine OCT retinal layer segmentation when assessing RNFL thickness in the management of patients with glaucoma.

Macular Ganglion Cell Layer and Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness in Patients with Unilateral Posterior Cerebral Artery Ischaemic Lesion: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the macular ganglion cell layer (GCL) and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with unilateral posterior cerebral artery (PCA) ischaemic lesions using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A prospective, case-control study of patients with unilateral PCA lesion was conducted in the neuro-ophthalmology clinic of Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Central. Macular and peripapillary SD-OCT scans were performed in both eyes of each patient. Twelve patients with PCA lesions (stroke group) and 12 healthy normal controls were included in this study. Peripapillary RNFL comparison between both eyes of the same subject in the stroke group found a thinning in the superior-temporal (p = 0.008) and inferior-temporal (p = 0.023) sectors of the ipsilateral eye and nasal sector (p = 0.003) of the contralateral eye. Macular GCL thickness comparison showed a reduction temporally in the ipsilateral eye (p = 0.004) and nasally in the contralateral eye (p = 0.002). Peripapillary RNFL thickness was significantly reduced in both eyes of patients with PCA compared with controls, affecting all sectors in the contralateral eye and predominantly temporal sectors in the ipsilateral eye. A statistically significant decrease in macular GCL thickness was found in both hemiretinas of both eyes of stroke patients when compared with controls (p < 0.05). This study shows that TRD may play a role in the physiopathology of lesions of the posterior visual pathway.

Racial Differences in Rate of Change of Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography-Measured Minimum Rim Width and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness.

Project description:PurposeTo compare race-related differences in estimated rate of change of Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) in healthy, glaucoma suspect, and glaucoma eyes of individuals of European (ED) and African descent (AD).DesignProspective cohort study.MethodsThis study investigated rate of change of BMO-MRW and RNFLT in 124 healthy, 227 glaucoma suspect, and 177 glaucoma eyes followed for approximately 3 years and tested with optical coherence tomography every 6 months. Suspect eyes had a history of untreated intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥ 22 mm Hg or suspicion of glaucoma by optic disc photograph assessment without repeatable abnormal standard automated perimetry (SAP) results. Glaucoma eyes had repeatable abnormal SAP results (GHT ONL or PSD ≤ 5%). Mixed-effects models were used to estimate the rate of change after controlling for age, mean follow-up IOP, central corneal thickness, axial length, and BMO area.ResultsA race-related difference in rate of change of global BMO-MRW but not average RNFLT in suspect eyes was observed. Rate of change of BMO-MRW was -1.82 μm/year and -2.20 μm/year in ED and AD suspect eyes, respectively (P = .03). Rate of change of RNFLT was -0.64 μm/year and -0.75 μm/year in ED and AD suspect eyes, respectively (P = .75). No race-related differences in change rate were found in healthy or glaucoma eyes.ConclusionRace is an important consideration when assessing structural change, particularly minimum rim width, in glaucoma suspect eyes. Differences in rate of structural change may help explain racial disparities in glaucoma susceptibility.

Thinner temporal peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer in Stargardt disease detected by optical coherence tomography.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with Stargardt disease (STGD).MethodsA cross-sectional, monocentric, observational case-control study. Twenty patients (39 eyes) with ABCA4 mutations graded according to the Fishman STGD classification were included. RNFL measurement was performed using Heidelberg Spectralis SD-OCT. RNFL thickness in STGD patients was compared to age-matched data of healthy individuals provided by the device's manufacturer. A manual readjustment of the optic disc-fovea angle was performed when needed.ResultsThe mean age at first diagnosis of STGD was 22.9 years (range 9 to 50) and 39.1 years (range 18 to 74) at the time of examination. Thirty-nine percent of eyes (15 eyes) needed manual adjustment of the optic disc-fovea angle due to malfixation of the patients during OCT. The temporal quadrant corresponding to the macula showed a RNFL 16% thinner than controls (mean - 12 μm, 95%CI - 9 to -15 μm). However, global RNFL thickness did not differ from controls due to increased RNFL thickness of 12% in the nasal sectors. Duration and stage of STGD were not correlated to thinner RNFL.ConclusionSTGD seems to be associated with thinner peripapillary RNFL in the sector of axons projecting to the degenerated macular area. It is yet unclear as to whether this results from anterograde transneuronal degeneration of direct injury to retinal ganglion cells.
