Abstract
The use of optical attenuation coefficients (OAC) in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the retina has improved the segmentation of anatomic layers compared with traditional intensity-based algorithms. Optical attenuation correction has improved our ability to measure the choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index using dense volume scans. Algorithms that combine conventional intensity-based segmentation with depth-resolved OAC OCT imaging have been used to detect elevations of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to drusen and basal laminar deposits, the location of hyperpigmentation within the retina and along the RPE, the identification of macular atrophy, the thickness of the outer retinal (photoreceptor) layer, and the presence of calcified drusen. OAC OCT algorithms can identify the risk-factors that predict disease progression in age-related macular degeneration.
