Anatomy of the Eyeball01:20

Anatomy of the Eyeball

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle layer, the vascular tunic,...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Ophthalmic Imaging Technology
    • Nanotechnology for Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Characterizing the point spread function (PSF) is crucial for assessing the performance of retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices.
    • Existing methods for PSF evaluation may lack realism or consistency for in vivo retinal imaging.
    • Developing standardized phantoms is essential for objective device calibration and validation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design, fabricate, and test a nanoparticle-embedded phantom (NEP) within a model eye to characterize the 3D PSF of retinal OCT systems.
    • To evaluate the NEP's utility under realistic imaging conditions that mimic the human eye.
    • To provide a tool for consistent and objective assessment of OCT imaging performance.

    Main Methods:

    • A nanoparticle-embedded phantom (NEP) was created using silica-gold nanoshells in epoxy.
    • A commercially available model eye was integrated with the NEP.
    • The model eye-NEP system was imaged using both a research-grade spectral domain OCT and a clinical OCT system.
    • Lateral and axial PSF dimensions were quantified across the field of view.

    Main Results:

    • The NEP within the model eye successfully enabled 3D PSF characterization of retinal OCT systems.
    • Quantified PSF dimensions correlated well with independent measurements of lateral and axial resolution.
    • The phantom demonstrated subtle PSF features consistent with realistic imaging scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model eye-based phantom offers a rapid, objective, and consistent method for assessing the PSF of retinal OCT devices.
    • This phantom serves as a valuable tool for OCT device developers and users.
    • The NEP facilitates standardized evaluation of a fundamental metric for OCT imaging performance.
