The magic of time: Imaging analysis in uveitis

Abstract

AbstractIn the recent times, there has been a significant interest in the quantification of retinochoroidal vasculature in ocular inflammatory diseases. Using various imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA), non‐invasive ultra‐structural imaging of the retinochoroidal vasculature is now possible. Various authors have attempted to quantify the alterations in retinochoroidal vasculature in various uveitic conditions, including anterior and posterior/panuveitis. Using third‐party software, it is possible to perform quantification in an automated manner using predesigned pipelines with optimum thresholding strategies and image binarization techniques. The quantification must be performed after careful consideration of the retinochoroidal anatomy to avoid incorrect interpretation of the data. In this talk, the speaker will highlight the various techniques of quantification of retinochoroidal vasculature, paying specific attention to the correct ways of pre‐processing and application of image processing algorithms to obtain the most accurate results.
