Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Scanning laser Doppler flowmetry (SLDF) topography is crucial for assessing retinal microcirculation.
  • Accurate and reproducible analysis of retinal capillary flow, volume, and velocity is essential for diagnosing and monitoring eye diseases.
  • Existing analysis methods may have limitations in reliability and reproducibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the reliability and reproducibility of different analysis methods for retinal capillary parameters derived from SLDF topography.
  • To determine if the automatic full-field perfusion image analyzer (AFFPIA) offers superior performance compared to the default retinal flowmeter (HRF) software.

Main Methods:

  • SLDF topography data was analyzed using two methods: the default retinal flowmeter (HRF) software and the automatic full-field perfusion image analyzer (AFFPIA).

  • Reliability and reproducibility were quantified using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).

    • Main Results:

    • The AFFPIA full-field method demonstrated excellent reliability for capillary flow, achieving an ICC of 0.99.
    • High reproducibility was observed with the AFFPIA full-field method, with an ICC of 0.74 for capillary flow.

    Conclusions:

    • The AFFPIA full-field method is highly reliable and reproducible for analyzing retinal capillary flow using SLDF topography.
    • The AFFPIA method is superior to the default HRF software for quantitative analysis of retinal microcirculation.
