Purpose: To assess the repeatability and reliability of semi-automated EyeMark Python program measurements compared to manual ImageJ image processing of anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) structures in healthy and keratoconus eyes.

Methods: Heidelberg AS-OCT was used to image 25 eyes from 14 healthy subjects and 25 eyes from 15 subjects with keratoconus between the ages of 20 and 80 years, collected prospectively, in this observational case-control study. Visual axis scan containing vertical fixation light beam was selected from the 15-line AS-OCT scan raster.

Purpose: To determine through a feasibility study whether anterior and posterior corneal arc length and cross-sectional area measured using anterior segment ocular coherence tomography (AS-OCT) can distinguish between healthy and keratoconic corneas.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with keratoconus along with healthy controls underwent AS-OCT. ImageJ was used to determine the central 6 mm anterior and posterior corneal arc lengths and cross-sectional areas.

Objectives: To determine the repeatability of corneal measurements from anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) images using ImageJ software in healthy eyes compared with eyes with keratoconus.

Methods: Anterior segment OCT images of 25 eyes from 14 healthy subjects and 25 eyes from 15 subjects with keratoconus between the ages of 20 and 80 years were evaluated. Two trained observers used ImageJ to measure the central corneal cross-sectional area and anterior and posterior corneal arc lengths.

Article Synopsis
  • Changes in retinal blood flow could play a role in glaucoma and similar eye diseases.
  • Erythrocyte mediated velocimetry (EMV) is a new technique that uses indocyanine green dye to measure the speed of erythrocytes in the retinal microvasculature.
  • The study involved 23 sessions showing the average erythrocyte speeds in arteries (7.17 mm/s) and veins (6.05 mm/s), with low variability in the measurements, suggesting EMV could be a reliable method for studying blood flow in the retina.

Aim: We sought to quantify the location and volume of thrombus in used hollow-fiber membrane oxygenators and correlate the volume of thrombus with patient demographics, flow characteristics and anticoagulation parameters.

Methods: Hollow-fiber membrane oxygenators (Quadrox D, Maquet, Rastatt, Germany) were collected after clinical use in ECMO circuits and divided into sections. Each section was digitally imaged and analyzed using ImageJ software.
