Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
1. OCT IN RETINAL DISEASES

2. History
FIRST OCT IMAGES – 1991 (SHUANG)
OCT technology was conceived in the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
James Fujimoto, Carmen Puliafito, and Eric Swanson
In 1992 the first commercial optical coherence
tomography (OCT) company was started. It was called
Advanced Ophthalmic Devices (AOD)
3. Advantages
• Noncontact and noninvasive technique
• The cross sectional nature of the image provides depth information
• To detect and objectively measure
- Morphological changes
- Retinal thickness
- NFL thickness
- Retinal volume
- Other parameters of optic disc
• Stored in memory, making comparison over time simple and
accurate.
4. Limitations
• Being new technology the instruments are relatively expensive
• Scan quality is dependent on the skill of OCT operator
• May not be possible with unco-operative patients
• Exploration is limited to the posterior pole.
• Images are degraded in the presence of media opacity.
15. Quantitative analysis is possible because the OCT 3 software is able
to identify and "trace" two key layers of the retina, the NFL and
RPE.

Surface mappings
Caliper can be used to measure any other dimension or distance

1.How is the vitreo – retinal interface?
2.What does the foveal contour look like?
3.Features of neurosensory retina ?
4. Is the red line of RPE-CCC intact or disrupted?

65. Conclusion
• OCT is a revolutionary diagnostic tool in the Era
of modern retinal treatment.
• Being noninvasive it is safe and accessible to the
patients.
• Both in the anterior and posterior segment it has
proven to be an accurate tool for diagnosis and
treatment.
• Per operative use of OCT has taken it to a new
height.

James G. Fujimoto, PhD, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and his students had collaborated with Carmen A. Puliafito, MD, MBA, OSN Retina/Vitreous Section Editor, who was then at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
“The [initial] collaboration was investigating the applications of femtosecond lasers for surgery,” Dr. Fujimoto told OSN. “At that time, we were also interested in using femtosecond light pulses to measure distances in the eye.”
In the late 1980s, this technology was being investigated for the measurement of anterior structures.
Joel S. Schuman, MD, an OSN Glaucoma Section Member, was a glaucoma fellow at Massachusetts Eye and Ear at the time and was working on another project in Dr. Puliafito’s laser laboratory in 1989.
“I became aware of the technology and realized that it could have an application for measuring retinal thickness,” Dr. Schuman said.
In 1991, David Huang, MD, PhD, who was a student under Dr. Fujimoto in the Harvard/MIT Health Sciences and Technology program, was working on this project, and he had the idea of generalizing axial scans to transverse images.
“I thought this is much more useful as an imaging modality than just a ranging or thickness measurement,” Dr. Huang said. “So we got a bunch of data and plotted it out [on a false color scale] to get the image, and it looked amazing.”
The team demonstrated the first OCT images, which were done in the retina ex vivo, and the data were reported in Science in 1991. Dr. Huang was the first author of the paper, which is widely regarded as the first demonstration of OCT
Instead of a knife, light is used. Instead of viewing a stained section under a microscope, we are presented with a "false-color" view with micron level resolution.
This sources that can emit light over a broad range of frequencies
Light from a broadband, near infrared source 820 nm and a visible aiming beam is combined and coupled into one branch of fiber-optic Michelson interferometer.
has a short coherence length………………………,either constructively and destructively
that is reflected and backscattered from different microstructures in the retina and light reflected from reference mirror at known distances
As against B-scan and fluorescein, depth information similar to using a thin slit on a cornea with a slitlamp microscope.
Resulting images can be-
-Compared with images obtained during follow-up examinations
The coherent light is only minimally visible to the patient, so is very comfortable and
to purchase e.g in dense cataract
Thus OCT is difficult/impossible to perform in cases of:
Qualitative analysis of the OCT scan includes observation of the reflective qualities of the retinal structures. The OCT software assigns "cooler" colors (green, blue) to structures with lower reflectivity. It assigns "warmer" colors (yellow, orange, red) to more highly reflective structures. White represents the most highly reflective structures, and black represents the least reflective structures
The most highly reflective anatomical layers are the NFL and the RPE.
The software can then measure the distance between these two layers, which represents retinal thickness. Multiple thickness measurements can be interpolated into a volume measurement of the

THE UPPERMOST FIGURE IS COLOR CODED , CROSS SECTIONAL MAP ALONG THE VERTICAL LINE . THE CENTRAL THINNING CORRESPONDS TO FOVEOLA AND WHITE LINES MARK THE VITREORETINAL AND RPE BOUNDARIES OF RETINA . THE LOWER LEFT MAP IS THE COLOR CODED MACULAR THICKNESS MAP WHEREIN BLUE COLOR REPRESENTS THINNER RETINA AND YELLOW GREEN ,THICKER RETINA. THE CENTER MAP GIVES THE QUANTATIVE MEASUREMENTS OF NINE SECTORS.
REFLECTIVITY PATTERN OF THE SCANNED IMAGES IS USED TO INTERPRET ABNORMAL FINDING AS FOLLOWS ;
HYPERREFLECTIVITY CAN BE CAUSED BY HEMORRHAGES , SCARS OR FIBROSIS , HARD EXUDATES AND INFLAMMATORY INFILTRATE INTO ANY LAYERS OF RETINA.
HYPOREFLECTIVITY MEANS REDUCED BACK SCATTERING MAY BE CAUSED BY RETINAL EDEMA , SEROUS FLUID HYPOPIGMENTATION OF RPE .
DISTINCTION BETWEEN BLOOD SEROUS FLUID AND EXUDATE IS MADE ON THE BASIS OF REFLECTIVITY SEROUS FLUID IS OPTICALLY TRANSPARENT , BLOOD HAS BOTH ENHANCED REFLECTIVITY AND INCREASED ATTENUATION OF ENHANCED LIGHT .EXUDATE TYPICALLY HAS INTERMEDIATE APPEARANCE BETWEEN BLOOD AND SEROUS FLUID ON OCT IMAGES.
