Currently, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) implanted as a contrast agent for optical coherence tomography (OCT) system due to its biocompatibility, anti-stock emission, narrow emission bandwidth non-photobleaching effects etc., but it was not used as multi model imaging probe. We synthesized multimodal imaging probe having upconversion property along with paramagnetic property and used as dual contrast agents for Photothermal Optical Coherence Tomography (PTOCT) and Magnetomotive Optical Coherence Tomography (MMOCT). The synthesized GdO:Er/Yb UCNPs shows the bright yellow upconversion emission, biocompatibility with hydrophilic property. A custom built SSOCT setup modified for PTOCT and MMOCT imaging along with custom MATLAB algorithm for signal extraction. A dynamic study was performed with synthesized UCNPs as an imaging probe and functional OCT system for targeted imaging. This shows the utility of the GdO:Er/Yb UCNPs as molecular probe for targeted imaging applications.

Artificial Intelligence for Optical Coherence Tomography in Glaucoma.
Transl Vis Sci Technol
January 2025
Glaucoma Service, Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Purpose: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning (DL), with optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers significant opportunities in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. This article explores the application of various DL models in enhancing OCT capabilities and addresses the challenges associated with their clinical implementation.
Methods: A review of articles utilizing DL models was conducted, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), autoencoders, and large language models (LLMs).
Determinants of Human Corneal Mechanical Wave Dispersion for In Vivo Optical Coherence Elastography.
Transl Vis Sci Technol
January 2025
College of Optometry, University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA.
Purpose: To characterize frequency-dependent wave speed dispersion in the human cornea using microliter air-pulse optical coherence elastography (OCE), and to evaluate the applicability of Lamb wave theory for determining corneal elastic modulus using high-frequency symmetric (S0) and anti-symmetric (A0) guided waves in cornea.
Methods: Wave speed dispersion analysis for transient (0.5 ms) microliter air-pulse stimulation was performed in four rabbit eyes ex vivo and compared to air-coupled ultrasound excitation.
Preferential Sites of Retinal Capillary Occlusion in Sickle Cell Disease.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, New York, New York, United States.
Purpose: To assess the preferential sites of retinal capillary occlusion at the parafovea in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).
Methods: OCT-A scans from 107 patients with SCD and 51 race-matched unaffected controls were obtained using a commercial spectral domain-OCT system. At least eight sequential 3 × 3 mm scans centered at the fovea were acquired and averaged for image analysis.
Effect of Different Treatments on Retinal Thickness Changes in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Review.
CNS Neurosci Ther
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system, with varying clinical manifestations such as optic neuritis, sensory disturbances, and brainstem syndromes. Disease progression is monitored through methods like MRI scans, disability scales, and optical coherence tomography (OCT), which can detect retinal thinning, even in the absence of optic neuritis. MS progression involves neurodegeneration, particularly trans-synaptic degeneration, which extends beyond the initial injury site.

Department of Ophthalmology, The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Suzhou, 215008, Jiangsu, China.
Purpose: Myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a common reason for visual impairment. This study investigated the clinical effects of repeated intravitreal injections of ranibizumab among patients with CNV secondary to pathologic myopia.
Methods: This study involved a single-center, non-randomized clinical prospective cohort research design including 39 patients with myopic CNV and a control group of 10 patients with cataract.
