Summary

Motion artifacts in GDx imaging generally increase retardation values, affecting glaucoma diagnosis. Caution is advised when interpreting GDx images with motion artifacts due to their variable impact.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • The GDx (Laser Diagnostic Technologies) is a scanning laser polarimeter used to measure retinal nerve fiber layer thickness.
  • Eye movements during GDx imaging can cause motion artifacts, potentially impacting diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of motion artifacts on GDx retardation values.
  • To illustrate methods for identifying motion artifacts in GDx images.

Main Methods:

  • Observational case series involving 32 normal subjects and 28 glaucoma patients.
  • GDx imaging was performed, and images with and without motion artifacts were compared.
  • Specific parameters analyzed included superior maximum, inferior maximum, and The Number.

Main Results:

  • Motion artifacts generally increased retardation values (superior max by 5.9 µm, inferior max by 3.4 µm; P < 0.001).
  • The Number parameter decreased by 3.4 (P = 0.001), with significant variability observed.
  • The impact of motion artifacts was more pronounced in glaucoma patients than in normal subjects.

Conclusions:

  • Motion artifacts typically elevate GDx retardation values, but this effect is highly variable.
  • GDx images exhibiting motion artifacts require careful interpretation or exclusion from analysis to ensure diagnostic reliability.
