Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Retinal Imaging Analysis

Background:

  • Quantitative fundus autofluorescence (QAF) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) are key imaging modalities for retinal analysis.
  • Accurate image registration and alignment are crucial for multimodal retinal image analysis, especially for tracking age-related changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To utilize multimodal retinal images, including QAF, for SD-OCT-based image registration and alignment.
  • To generate normative QAF retinal maps for healthy adults across different age decades.
  • To apply advanced QAF image analysis methods for detailed insights into retinal aging.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired multimodal retinal images from 103 healthy subjects (aged 19-77).
  • Developed custom FIJI plugins for fovea/optic disc determination and multimodal image alignment.
  • Generated normative QAF maps per decade and introduced refined analysis patterns (QAF97, freehand tool) for individual retina comparison.

Main Results:

  • SD-OCT based registration facilitated alignment and analysis of QAF, IR, and SD-OCT images.
  • QAF intensities significantly increased with age, with notable inclines in the 3rd/4th and 7th/8th decades.
  • Aging caused a parafoveal shift in maximum QAF intensity; refined analysis revealed more detailed QAF changes, particularly in diseased retinas.

Conclusions:

  • Age-related QAF normative maps enable direct comparison and classification of individual QAF intensities.
  • Advanced QAF analysis tools aid in interpreting autofluorescence changes in normal aging and diseased retinas within a multimodal imaging context.
