OCT Bootcamp:
The Basics of Retinal OCT

     Optometry Symposium
      Hilary Wilson, M.D.
      November 2, 2008
Question
• How many ophthalmic imaging tests can
  claim the following?

  – Non-invasive
  – Non-contact
  – No radiation
  – Painless
  – Fast
  – Reliable and sensitive (to 10 microns)
Optical Coherence Tomography
• Diagnostic test that
  allows for imaging
  and measurement of
  various ocular
  structures
OCT: Anterior Segment
OCT: Optic Nerve
OCT: Retina
Goals
•   Quick overview of OCT function
•   Interpretation of macular OCT scan
•   Define indications for macular OCT
•   Practical examples
How does OCT work?




• Rays of light provide 2 and 3-dimensional
  imaging of tissues at histological level
Optical Biopsy of Retinal Layers
Limitations of Retinal OCT
• Mydriasis may sometimes be necessary
• Dioptric media must be somewhat
  transparent
• Exploration typically limited to posterior
  pole
• Good lacrimal film necessary
Obtaining A Macular Scan
Composite Macular Scan
Interpretation of Macular
             OCT Printout
• Assessment of
  reliability
  – Scan placement
  – Signal strength
  – Algorithm performance
Scan Placement
Signal Strength




• Signal strength 6 = adequate
• Signal strength 8 = very good
Algorithm Performance




•   For macular scan, the borders of algorithm should fit to ILM and PR inner and outer segment
•   If algorithm has failed, then the quantitative data should be disregarded
Interpretation of Macular
              OCT Printout
• Color-coded
  qualitative thickness
  map
Interpretation of Macular
              OCT Printout
• Color-coded
  quantitative thickness
  map
  – Macula 150 to 250 µ
  – Foveola ≤ 200 µ
Interpretation of Macular
             OCT Printout
• Table of thickness
  and volume
  parameters
Indications for Retinal OCT
• To examine the retina and its sub-layers

  – Atrophy, Edema, Traction, Subretinal fluid, RPE irregularity
  – ARMD, CME, CSME, CSR


• To monitor progression
• To aid in treatment planning
• To monitor response to therapy
Indications for Retinal OCT




• To examine the retina and its sub-layers

   – Extent of retinal defects or abnormalities
   – Detailed measurements
Indications for Retinal OCT




• To monitor progression
Indications for Retinal OCT




• To aid in treatment planning
• To monitor response to therapy
Case Studies:
Vitreoretinal Interface Disorders
Case 1
• A 67 year-old man notes progressive
  decrease in vision OS x 6 mos
• VA 20/20 OD, 20/200 OS
Case 1 Fundus Photo
Case 1 OCT of Macula




• Diagnosis?
Case 1 OCT Macular Scan




• Diagnosis: Vitreomacular traction
     • Epiretinal membrane
     • Cystoid macular edema
OCT Macular Scan:
           3 Months Post-op




• No remaining ERM
• Macular edema resolved
• VA 20/40
Comparison OCT: Preop & Postop
OCT Advantage
• Enhanced visualization of pathological
  process
• Aided in determining optimal treatment
• Postoperative OCT showed resolution
Case Studies:
Retinal Vascular Diseases
Case 2
• 66-yo woman with severe NPDR OS
  treated with focal laser photocoagulation
  complains of subsequent worsening vision
  OS x several months
• Her visual acuity 20/60 OD, 20/200 OS
Case 2 Fundus Photo
Case 2: FA Early and Late
Case 2: Initial OCT - CSME
Case 2: OCT 6 wks post-IVK
Case 2: Pre- and Post-Treatment
Case 2 OCT Advantage
• Quantified morphological abnormality
• Showed failure to respond to original laser
  treatment
• Showed improvement with adjunctive
  intravitreal therapy
Case Studies:
Other Retinal Entities
Case 3
• A 75-year-old woman complains of slowly
  deteriorating vision OS over 6 months
• VA 20/30 OD, 20/60 OS
Case 3: Fundus Photo
Case 3: FA Early and Late
Case 3: OCT




• Diagnosis
Case 3: OCT




• Diagnosis: Wet ARMD with occult CNVM
Case 3 OCT Advantage
• Effectively demonstrates the layers
  involved in the pathological process
Case 4
• A 70-year-old male was referred for
  evaluation of persistently decreased
  central visual acuity OD after retinal
  detachment repair 3 months earlier
• VA remained 20/200 OD
Case 4 Fundus Photo
Case 4 OCT
Case 9 OCT Advantage
• Diagnosis?
Case 9 OCT Advantage
• Persistent shallow RD
Case 4 OCT Advantage
• Reveals structural defect that is difficult to
  identify ophthalmoscopically
Unexpected Uses
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Angioid Streaks
Summary
• Retinal OCT as useful diagnostic tool for:
  – Evaluating structural integrity of posterior pole
  – Decision making
  – Following sequential change
