TowardPi Breakfast Symposium in FLORetina was Packed!

7AM, December, Florence. Pitch dark sky and freezing temperature. The only morning symposium in FLORetina. The congress program wouldn’t start in one and a half hour. An ultimate test of young TowardPi's influence who was just CE cleared in Europe a few months ago. Yet, our meeting room was packed! Nothing can stop the enthusiasm from learning advanced ophthalmic OCT technology. Huge thanks to our prestigious speakers and honorable guests. Lecturers: Dr. Ali ERGINAY (France), Dr. Andrea Govetto (Italy), Dr. Belkacem HAOUCHINE (France), Dr. Tommaso Rossi (Italy), and Dr. Jian Zhou (China)

Intraretinal “Bridge”, A RAP Revealed by 3D Full Range SS-OCTA!

Intraretinal “bridge”, a RAP revealed by 3D full range SS-OCTA! A 66-year-old female was found a round lesion at macular in her left eye because of blurred vision. High-resolution OCT B-scan showed local retinal detachment at macular with intraretinal hyperreflection connected to RPE close to fovea. “Double-layer sign” and RPE interruption were also observed (fig 1, yellow arrow). 6mm x 6mm full range OCTA was obtained centered fovea. The blood signal on avascular layer verified the existence of neovascularization. On B-scan image with blood signal overlayed, corresponding neovascularization was detected both inside the intraretinal hyperreflection lesion (fig 2, yellow arrow) and beneath RPE (fig 2, red arrow). This patient was diagnosed as retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) in her left eye. Retinal thickness in ETDRS rings and neovascularization area were quantified with build-in software for follow-up. 3D reconstruction showed how the neovascularization extended from deep vascular complex to beneath RPE (gif). TowardPi full range swept source OCT was used in this case to detect neovascularization. Numerous measurements and flow quantifications are available on the device. 3D structure and vessels can be easily obtained with build-in software.

"Primary" or "Delayed"? IOL Tilt and Decentration Evaluated by Panoramic AS SS-OCT!

"Primary" or "delayed"? IOL tilt and decentration evaluated by panoramic AS SS-OCT! Research recently published in evaluated the tilt and decentration of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes that underwent phacovitrectomy for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair by using panoramic anterior segment (AS) swept source OCT. 63 patients with macula-off RRD who underwent phacovitrectomy were enrolled and divided into a primary implantation group and a delayed implantation group according to the time of IOL implantation. IOL tilt, measured as α angle—angle of the IOL axis (black line) and the pupillary axis (green line), and IOL decentration (red segment, distance between IOL center and the pupillary axis) were analyzed on the device (figure 1). Results showed that the absolute values of IOL tilt and decentration were greater in eyes with delayed IOL implantation than in eyes with primary implantation. Primary IOL implantation leads to a postoperative myopic shift, while in the delayed group, the extent of IOL tilt and decentration positively correlated with the time interval between phacovitrectomy and IOL implantation. A 100KHz speed full range swept source OCTA (#YAlkaid, TowardPi Medical) was used in this study to achieve panoramic AS OCT with 15mm scan depth, which makes it easy to visualize entire anterior segment from top of cornea to posterior lens capsule. All measurements are automatic assisted by AI technology on the device (figure 2). This research was authored by Dr. Qingchen Li from Shanghai Aier Eye Hospital, and Dr. Rui Liu from Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Special appreciation for the suggestions and assistance given by Dr. Jian Zhou. Link to original text: https://lnkd.in/gqD4nePf

Retinopathy of Prematurity Case with History of Photocoagulation by 400kHz SS-OCT/OCTA

Retinopathy of Prematurity case with history of photocoagulation by 400kHz SS-OCT/OCTA “The introduction of OCT in ophthalmology was a revolution. The transition from time domain to spectral domain was an evolution. The transition from OCT to OCTA was a revolution. The transition from spectral domain to swept source and scanning with 100kHz was a revolution. Now, 400kHz scan with TowardPi #BMizar, OCTA in seconds in ultra-wide field area, quantitative analysis of all retinal layers and choroid in terms of both structure and perfusion, and as if these were not enough, both 3D OCT and OCTA evaluations of the anterior segment are progresses that are far beyond evolution and revolution. It is always insufficient to express this in words, but if experienced, the miracle that occurs can be understood!” Golden Signature Series of TowardPi.

Quantification of Subclinical Ocular Fundus Changes in SLE with Full-Range Swept-Source OCTA

The article recently published in Frontiers in Immunology focused on ocular fundus features, specifically within the retina and choroid, which can potentially help with early diagnosis, the prediction of systemic disease activity, and the involvement of other systems in SLE.
