Whole eye segment imaging and measurement with dual-channel spectral-domain OCT
Background And Objectives:
To image and measure whole eye segments using dual-channel spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to compare the results with those from the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA).
Patients And Methods:
Twenty eyes of 20 volunteers were recruited. Ocular dimensions, including cornea thickness, anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness, anterior lens surface curvature, and axial length (AL), were calculated. The reproducibility of SD-OCT measurements, statistical significance of inter-instrument difference, correlation, and agreement were evaluated.
Results:
No significant differences were found between independent SD-OCT measurements (P > .05). The ACD and AL measured with IOLMaster were significantly shorter than those from SD-OCT (P < .001). There were high correlations and agreements in ACD (r = 0.994; 95% limits of agreement [LOA], 0.131-0.223 mm) and AL (r = 0.998; 95% LOA, 0.678-0.853 mm) between the two methods.
Conclusion:
Dual-channel SD-OCT was demonstrated to have good repeatability in imaging and measuring whole eye segments. The results had high correlations and agreements with those from the IOLMaster.
