Book Extending the Reach of Anterior Segment Ophthalmic Imaging

Download or read book Extending the Reach of Anterior Segment Ophthalmic Imaging written by Shantanu Sanjay Sinha and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eye exams via a slit lamp are critical in screening for conditions such as cataracts, corneal opacities and pterygia early on to avert vision loss. The slit lamp, however, is a purely qualitative optical device that is bulky, expensive, can cause eye discomfort due to light sensitivity. It also requires a trained physician to operate, making it unsuitable for large-scale screening in resource-constrained settings. In this thesis, we propose a spectrum of portable anterior segment imaging solutions that can be operated by minimally trained health workers. On one end, we present a smartphone attachment with minimal optics and no electronic components beyond what is present in the smartphone itself to examine and image the anterior segment of the eye. This cost-effective, easily scalable solution would help extend the reach of anterior segment examination to extremely resource constrained settings, such as mass-screening camps, mobile ophthalmology clinics, war zones etc. On the other end, we propose purely solid-state instrumentation that employs programmable illumination and light steering optics to simulate the motion of a slit on the eye, thereby exhibiting functionality similar to that of a slit lamp with no moving parts. Finally, we discuss potential deployment strategies for two implementations of this technology in the specific cases of two contrasting healthcare systems in India.

Covers the entire normal anatomy of the anterior segment and pathology of the conjunctiva, corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium, lens, iris, anatomic angle, and clinical settings such as trauma, infection, inflammation, and contact lens fitting. Includes information on using AS-OCT in clinical and surgical settings (intraoperative AS-OCT). Provides rich visual guidance with over 500+ high-quality figures (anterior segment OCT imaging and clinical photos) comparing normal anatomy and a wide range of pathology, including both common and rare disorders and how to differentiate frequently confused conditions. Provides a well-rounded perspective of AS-OCT, including how to use, understand, and capture images. Links high-quality slit lamp images to the corresponding AS-OCT image with clear labels to show the pathology side by side. Features clinical pearls in each chapter to relate key AS-OCT and clinical findings to everyday practice.

Book High resolution Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography and Ophthalmic Applications

Download or read book High resolution Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography and Ophthalmic Applications written by Rahul Yadav and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite advances in optical coherence tomography (OCT) there is still demand for further improvements in axial and lateral resolution, imaging depth and speed. The objectives of this dissertation were to develop advanced OCT systems that overcome some of the current limitations of this technique and to advance our understanding of the mechanism of human accommodation and corneal diseases by imaging the anterior segment of the eye. A large scan depth OCT (imaging depth > 10 mm) was developed for improving our understanding of accommodation. Novel scanning optics, where scanning beams are incident normal to the four ocular surfaces (anterior and posterior cornea and lens surface) was used in the system, to maximize the OCT signal. In-vivo imaging was carried out in two young normal subjects and the four anterior segment ocular surfaces could be visualized. Six millimeter diameter posterior lens surface could be imaged without the need for pupil dilation. Reduction in anterior chamber depth, increase in lens thickness and decrease in radius of curvature in both lenticular surfaces was observed with accommodation. An ultrahigh axial resolution OCT was developed to quantify structural changes in corneal diseases. The system, based on spectral domain OCT principle, used a broadband supercontinuum light source (375 nm at center wavelength of 812.5 nm) and was assembled in free space to avoid image degradation due to dispersion. A spectrometer based on modified Czerny Turner configuration was used to achieve relatively large scan depth (~1 mm). The experimentally measured axial resolution of the system was 1.1 [mu]m in corneal tissue, which allowed for the visualization and quantification of individual corneal layers in normal and diseased corneas. The clinical viability of the system was proven through a study on structural changes in the epithelium and Bowman's layer of keratoconic eyes. In-vivo cellular imaging capability, using an optical coherence microscope, was demonstrated by imaging stromal keratocytes and endothelial cells in the mouse cornea. The system provided large working distance (30.5 mm) and also has the potential of achieving larger field if imaging speed could be improved. Thus creating the possibility of performing non-invasive follow up investigation on the cellular structure in the mouse eyes. These advanced OCT systems have successfully overcome the limitations of currently available OCT systems, by providing better axial and lateral resolution and imaging depth. With improved performance these systems can help us in understanding the diseases pertaining to the anterior segment of the eye"--Pages ix-x.
