Official title
Optimize Pediatric OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Imaging: a Pilot Study
Overview
Handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an important imaging modality to evaluate the pediatric retina. The objective of this pilot study is to compare a new contact OCT system (Theia Imaging) with an investigational noncontact OCT system (Duke Biomedical Engineering) to assess their ability to image the pediatric retina. The investigators hypothesize that the contact OCT system is superior in imaging larger areas of the retina (larger field-of-view), while it has similar resolution to image the retina substructures (non-inferior image quality).
Detailed description
Handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an important imaging modality to evaluate the pediatric retina. The objective of this pilot study is to compare a new contact OCT system (Theia Imaging) with an investigational noncontact OCT system (Duke Biomedical Engineering) to assess their ability to image the pediatric retina.
The investigators plan to enroll 10 healthy adult volunteers and 20 pediatric patients in clinic or undergoing examination under anesthesia. This is an observational study. There are no known risks associated with handheld OCT imaging and no adverse events identified imaging with our prior investigational imaging with the same system. There is a risk of corneal abrasion with the contact imaging system (Theia imaging), however, this system is used in the setting of other contact imaging systems (such as RetCam fundus photography).
Imaging data will be downloaded to a secure server for protocol image processing, segmentation, and analysis per protocol in the Duke Advanced Research in SD/SSOCT Imaging (DARSI) Laboratory.
Interventions
- Device Investigational contact OCT system
Theia imaging is developing handheld OCT systems bring state of the art OCT to the infant bedside. The Theia 1 widefield imaging system is a light weight, high speed (300 kHz), wide field of view (110°) OCT system that address the limitations of current commercial OCT systems. The system is cart mounted, enabling portable, bedside imaging. The system uses a 300 kHz swept source laser operating in 1060nm regime. The Theia system follows the same safety standards as all applicable laser safety sta - Device Investigational noncontact OCT system:
The investigational noncontact handheld OCT systems in this study is developed at Duke University as the result of collaboration between the Departments of Ophthalmology (Cynthia Toth, MD) and Biomedical Engineering (Joseph Izatt, PhD). This investigational device was previously reviewed and approved for use in adults, children, and neonates in nursery by: * Intraoperative OCT Guidance of Intraocular Surgery study's (Pro00016827) Data Safety and Monitoring Board Plus (DSMB+) (PI: Toth and Izatt
Primary outcome measures
- Presence of abnormal retinal microanatomy as measured by OCT reading [Time frame: Single imaging session (day 1)]
- Severity of abnormal retinal microanatomy as measured by OCT reading [Time frame: Single imaging session (day 1)]
- Retinal thickness at the fovea and surrounding optic nerve as measured by OCT analysis [Time frame: Single imaging session (day 1)]
