PURPOSE: To demonstrate high-resolution, motion-corrected, volume-fused optical coherence tomography (OCT) for assessing longitudinal changes in macular dot form subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs).
METHODS: Six consecutive isotropic volume raster scans over 6 × 6 mm (500 × 500 A-scans) were acquired using a high-resolution (2.7 µm axial resolution) spectral domain OCT prototype instrument. OCT volumes were computationally motion-corrected and fused. The distribution and longitudinal changes in dot SDDs were evaluated using en face OCT in a 50-µm-thick slab, from 27 µm above Bruch's membrane.
RESULTS: Computational motion correction and volume fusion methods improve visibility of small en face features and compensate for motion artifacts to facilitate longitudinal assessment. In total, 326 SDDs were identified in a representative series of four eyes from four patients with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and assessed with a 3- to 12-month follow-up. Of the SDDs, 85.3% remained stable over the follow-up, while 9.8% regressed, 3.4% fused, and 1.5% new SDDs appeared.
CONCLUSIONS: Computational motion correction and volume fusion combined with high-resolution OCT B-scans and en face slabs facilitate visualization and longitudinal tracking of focal pathologies, such as SDDs.
TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: The methods presented have the potential to improve OCT analysis of focal features, such as quantification of SDDs and other AMD biomarkers.
