Sentence |
denotes |
High-speed optical coherence tomography of corneal opacities. |
| TextSentencer_T2 |
62-70 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PURPOSE: |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
71-141 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To evaluate corneal opacities with optical coherence tomography (OCT). |
| TextSentencer_T4 |
142-149 |
Sentence |
denotes |
DESIGN: |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
150-188 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Prospective observational case series. |
| TextSentencer_T6 |
189-202 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PARTICIPANTS: |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
203-297 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Twenty-three eyes of 19 patients with corneal opacities referred to a tertiary medical center. |
| TextSentencer_T8 |
298-306 |
Sentence |
denotes |
METHODS: |
| TextSentencer_T9 |
307-451 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Twenty-three consecutive eyes with corneal opacities were imaged with a high-speed corneal OCT prototype (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA). |
| TextSentencer_T10 |
452-549 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The OCT system operates at a speed of 2000 axial scans per second and a wavelength of 1.3 microm. |
| TextSentencer_T11 |
550-737 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Slit-scanning tomography (Orbscan II, software version 3.12; Bausch & Lomb, Inc., Rochester, NY) and ultrasound pachymetry (Corneo-Gage Plus; Sonogage, Cleveland, OH) also were performed. |
| TextSentencer_T12 |
738-760 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: |
| TextSentencer_T13 |
761-820 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Central cornea thickness was measured by the 3 instruments. |
| TextSentencer_T14 |
821-829 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| TextSentencer_T15 |
830-1097 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In eyes with central opacities (n = 17), OCT central cornea thickness measurements were statistically equivalent to ultrasound pachymetry, whereas Orbscan II measurements were significantly less than ultrasound pachymetry (difference, -132.7+/-143 microm; P = 0.006). |
| TextSentencer_T16 |
1098-1225 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The OCT and ultrasound pachymetry results were obtained for all eyes, whereas Orbscan was unable to provide readings in 4 eyes. |
| TextSentencer_T17 |
1226-1381 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In eyes with off-center opacities (n = 6), OCT and Orbscan II central cornea thickness measurements were statistically equivalent to ultrasound pachymetry. |
| TextSentencer_T18 |
1382-1465 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The OCT measurements of epithelial thickness and scar depth also were demonstrated. |
| TextSentencer_T19 |
1466-1478 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
| TextSentencer_T20 |
1479-1655 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Optical coherence tomography provides consistent pachymetry mapping, whereas Orbscan II significantly underestimates corneal thickness in the presence of central corneal scars. |
| TextSentencer_T21 |
1656-1758 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Optical coherence tomography could be valuable in the planning of surgical treatment of corneal scars. |
