研究目的
To compare ONH measurements from different clinical OCT devices using phantoms mimicking ONH morphology.
研究成果
The interdevice differences in CDR and cup volume are primarily caused by the devices’ proprietary ONH analysis algorithms. The three devices yield more similar ONH measurements when a consistent of?ine analysis technique is applied. Scan pattern on the ONH also may be a factor in the measurement differences.
研究不足
The phantoms’ deviations from an ideal circular cup shape and the lack of distinct internal registration marks to orient the scan locations degraded the repeatability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Three phantoms were fabricated to model the ONH: one normal and two with glaucomatous anatomies. Phantoms were scanned with Stratus, RTVue, and Cirrus clinical devices, and with a laboratory OCT system as a reference.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Three ONH phantoms representing a healthy cup and a moderate level of glaucomatous cupping in two different sizes of disc.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Stratus, RTVue, and Cirrus clinical OCT devices, a laboratory OCT system, and an x-ray micro–computed tomography (micro-CT) system.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Each phantom was scanned three times with each device, with the model eye detached and reattached between each scan.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Device-reported ONH measurements of cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and cup volume were compared with of?ine measurements done manually and with a custom software algorithm, respectively.
