Imaging

Researchers reported identifying changes in 4 areas of the brain

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was performed in all participants; the choroidal and retinal changes were examined and recorded.

The “Triangle sign” seen on ultrasound is a “distinctive and reliable” ultrasound feature for differentiating total choroidal detachments and suprachoroidal hemorrhages.

The primary safety endpoint was carried out through the percentage of patients with shift from normal (at baseline) to abnormal in any electrocardiogram (ECG).

The findings suggest that retinal microvessel damage may occur due to renal hypertension (RH).

Clinical associations, imaging strategies and establishing a differential diagnosis from pseudopapilledema.

Peking University researchers have developed a deep learning-based, noninvasive choroidal angiography method that enables detailed 3D visualization of choroidal vessels from OCT scans. This technique could improve diagnostics for retinal diseases like macular degeneration, offering a safer alternative to traditional methods.

Valerie Biousse, MD, from the Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, shared insights on how ocular imaging in the emergency department can provide timely, accurate diagnosis while also benefiting the on-call ophthalmologists.

The investigators conducted a study in which they evaluated the retinal structure in patients with ametropic amblyopia and then correlated it with the final visual acuities achieved after 6 months of follow-up using a multimodal imaging approach.

The award from the National Institutes of Health will enable a team of researchers to investigate Alzheimer and Parkinson progression through the eye.

Because the inner retinal function is thought to affect the emmetropization process, authors suggested that caffeine may be involved in ocular growth

The companies are teaming up to reduce care gaps and improve eye and vision health by bringing diabetic retinopathy and other eye disease screening services to patients in their own homes and workplaces.

From AI tools and early diagnoses to advancing image rendering and predicting overall health, retinal imaging is reaching new heights.

The introduction of red/green/blue (RGB) color is a welcome addition to ultrawidefield imaging that will aid in the screening and detection of retinal diseases.

Proactive communication and leveraging advanced, yet reliable, technologies  to maximize efficiency are essential pillars of success.

The company noted its OCT reference database now offers a library of 870 healthy eyes, more than tripling the previous versions.

At this year's ARVO meeting, Edmund Tsui, MD, presented a paper on the analysis of anterior chamber inflammation through automated quantitative assessment of swept-source anterior segment OCT images.
