Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Optic nerve head (ONH) structural deformation is linked to glaucoma and optic nerve diseases.
  • Accurate measurement of ONH structures is vital for diagnosing and monitoring optic nerve conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a robust algorithm for computing mean cup depth, a key metric for assessing ONH deformation.
  • To discuss the construction of two novel reference structures for internal limiting membrane (ILM) depth measurement.

Main Methods:

  • Developed computational methods for calculating cup depth using ILM surface reconstructions.
  • Investigated two reference structures: Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) and the anterior surface of the peripapillary sclera (AS).
  • Utilized synthetic datasets for algorithm evaluation to ensure robust performance.

Main Results:

  • The proposed methods enable reliable computation of mean cup depth.
  • The study demonstrates the feasibility of using BMO and AS as reference structures for ILM depth measurement.
  • Algorithm evaluation using synthetic data confirmed its robustness.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate cup depth measurement is essential for understanding ONH deformation in optic nerve diseases.
  • The presented algorithms and reference structures offer a promising approach for clinical assessment.
  • Further validation with real-world data is warranted to confirm clinical utility.
