Complete 360° circumferential gonioscopic optical coherence tomography imaging of the iridocorneal angle

Abstract

Clinically, gonioscopy is used to provide en face views of the ocular angle. The angle has been imaged with optical coherence tomography (OCT) through the corneoscleral limbus but is currently unable to image the angle from within the ocular anterior chamber. We developed a novel gonioscopic OCT system that images the angle circumferentially from inside the eye through a custom, radially symmetric, gonioscopic contact lens. We present, to our knowledge, the first 360° circumferential volumes (two normal subjects, two subjects with pathology) of peripheral iris and iridocorneal angle structures obtained via an internal approach not typically available in the clinic. 15.

Imaging collector channel entrance with a new intraocular micro‐probe swept‐source optical coherence tomography

“…So far, two other endoscopic OCT systems have been reported to achieve imaging of the CC from the TM surface (Ren et al 2011;McNabb et al 2015). One system has a design similar to ours.…”

Data-driven imaging of tissue inflammation using RGB-based hyperspectral reconstruction toward personal monitoring of dermatologic health

“…Thus, telecentric lenses have often been used in the machine vision industry, because they remove the parallax error that makes closer objects appear to be larger than objects farther from the lens. Regarding tissue imaging, a small acceptance angle of ~0.1° of a telecentric lens was used to remove stray light in optical tomography (transmission mode) [38] and to overcome the curvature or distortion of the objective of interest in optical coherence tomography [39,40] and digital holographic microscopy [41]. However, the use of telecentric lenses for imaging biological tissue in a reflectance mode has not commonly been explored yet.…”

Conical scan pattern for enhanced visualization of the human cornea using polarization-sensitive OCT

“…In order to obtain sufficient signal intensity over the entire cornea, a different scanning strategy is needed, which makes the sampling beam impinge at an almost perpendicular angle throughout the entire surface of the cornea. Recently, a different scanning strategy has been proposed in order to image the iridocorneal angle [26]. However, this method requires a contact lens and was limited to the peripheral region of the cornea.…”
