OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY
(OCT)
 New diagnostic imaging tool
 Non invasive, real-time, high resolution
 Principle – light interferometry
 Uses low coherence light in the near-infrared range (820nm)
to perform cross-sectional images of biological tissues
 Axial resolution – 10µ
 Transverse resolution – 20µ

PRINCIPLE OF OCT
 Near infra-red beam (820 nm) split
into two components:
Probe beam: To the tissue of interest
(retina)
Reference beam: Travels to a
reference mirror at a known variable
position
PRINCIPLE OF OCT
 Light reflected back from the
boundaries of the microstructures
 Echo time delay of this light (reflected
from the retina) is compared with the
same of the reference mirror and the
interference pattern is noted
PRINCIPLE OF OCT
 Interference measured by a
photodetector
 Real time tomogram using a false
colour scale

SD OCT & SS OCT
• Optic nerve head (ONH)
• Peripapillary retinal nerve fibre
layer (RNFL)
• Macular ganglion cell complex
(GCC)
• 03 innermost layer of retina
(RNFL+ GCL+ IPL)
ANALYSIS FROM OCT
RNFL ANALYSIS
 RNFL analysis helps to
identify early glaucomatous
loss
 Circular scans of 3.4 mm diameter in
the peripapillary region (cylindrical
retinal cross-section)
 Itisgraphed in a TSNIT orientation
 Compared to age-matched
normative data
OPTIC NERVE HEAD ANALYSIS
• Radial line scans through optic disc
provide cross-sectional information on
cupping and neuroretinal rim area
• Disc margins are objectively identified
using signal from "End of RPE (BMO)”
• Parameters:
• Disc
• cup and rim area
• horizontal and vertical cup-to-disc ratio
• vertical integrated rim area
• horizontal integrated rim width

• The macula is densely populated by RGCs, containing 50%
of the total number of these cells while occupying only
2% of the retina’s area.
• GCL comprises 30-35% of total macular thickness
• Loss of RGC'sin early glaucoma is more likely to occur
