Unified deep learning model for predicting fundus fluorescein angiography image from fundus structure image

The prediction of fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA)images from fundus structural images is a cutting-edge research topic in ophthalmological image processing.Prediction comprises estimating FFA from fundus camera imaging,single-phase FFA from scanning laser ophthalmoscopy(SLO),and three-phase FFA also from SLO.Although many deep learning models are available,a single model can only perform one or two of these prediction tasks.To accomplish three prediction tasks using a unified method,we propose a unified deep learning model for predicting FFA images from fundus structure images using a supervised generative adversarial network.The three prediction tasks are processed as follows:data preparation,network training under FFA supervision,and FFA image prediction from fundus structure images on a test set.By comparing the FFA images predicted by our model,pix2pix,and CycleGAN,we demonstrate the remarkable progress achieved by our proposal.The high performance of our model is validated in terms of the peak signal-to-noise ratio,structural similarity index,and mean squared error.

Fundus photography,fundus fluorescein angiography,and optical coherence tomography of healthy cynomolgus monkey,New Zealand rabbit,Sprague Dawley rat,and BALB/c mouse retinas

Background:A variety of experimental animal models are used in basic ophthalmological research to elucidate physiological mechanisms of vision and disease pathogenesis.The choice of animal model is based on the measurability of specific parameters or structures,the applicability of clinical measurement technologies,and the similarity to human eye function.Studies of eye pathology usually compare optical parameters between a healthy and altered state,so accurate baseline assessments are critical,but few reports have comprehensively examined the normal anatomical structures and physiological functions in these models.Methods:Three cynomolgus monkeys,six New Zealand rabbits,ten Sprague Dawley(SD)rats,and BALB/c mice were examined by fundus photography(FP),fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA),and optical coherence tomography(OCT).Results:Most retinal structures of cynomolgus monkey were anatomically similar to the corresponding human structures as revealed by FP,FFA,and OCT.New Zealand rabbits have large eyeballs,but they have large optic disc and myelinated retinal nerve fibers in their retinas,and the growth pattern of retinal vessels were also different to the human retinas.Unlike monkeys and rabbits,the retinal vessels of SD rats and BALB/c mice were widely distributed and clear.The OCT performance of them were similar with human beings except the macular.Conclusions:Monkey is a good model to study changes in retinal structure associated with fundus disease,rabbits are not suitable for studies on retinal vessel diseases and optic nerve diseases,and rats and mice are good models for retinal vascular diseases.These measures will help guide the choice of model and measurement technology and reduce the number of experimental animals required.

Fundus photography,fluorescein angiography,optical coherence tomography and electroretinography of preclinical animal models of ocular diseases

The eye is an immune-privileged and sensory organ in humans and animals.Anatomical,physiological,and pathobiological features share significant similarities across divergent species(1).Each compartment of the eye has a unique structure and function.The anterior and posterior compartments of the eye contain endothelium(cornea),epithelium(cornea,ciliary body,iris),muscle(ciliary body),vitreous and neuronal(retina)tissues,which make the eye suitable to evaluate efficacy and safety of tissue specific drugs(2).

Daytona超广角激光扫描眼底成像与FFA在老年白内障病人糖尿病性视网膜病变筛查中的一致性分析

目的探讨Daytona超广角激光扫描眼底成像与荧光素眼底血管造影(fundus fluorescein angiography,FFA)筛查老年白内障病人糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)的一致性。方法采用横断面研究方法,选取2021年4月至2023年8月在大庆油田总医院眼科门诊就诊的年龄≥60岁合并糖尿病的老年白内障病人172例(323眼),所有病人均接受Daytona超广角激光扫描眼底成像以及FFA检查,分别记录2种检查方法诊断DR以及DR分期情况。采用卡方检验、加权Kappa一致性检验、Spearman偏回归分析对2种检查结果的相关性进行分析。结果2种检查方法的可阅片率差异无统计学意义(93.8%比94.1%,P=0.869)。Daytona超广角系统检查时间较FFA检查时间明显缩短(Z=16.85,P<0.001)。排除未得到眼底图像25眼,最终153例298眼纳入一致性研究。Daytona超广角系统与FFA检测DR分期完全一致278只眼(93.29%),Kappa值为0.925,95%CI:0.892~0.958。以FFA为金标准,Daytona超广角系统检测增生型DR的敏感度和特异度分别为90.00%、100.00%,Kappa值为0.926;检测非增生型DR的敏感度、特异度分别为94.47%、90.91%,Kappa值为0.900。Daytona超广角系统与FFA检测DR分期结果呈高度正相关(r=0.921)。结论Daytona超广角激光扫描眼底成像对合并糖尿病的老年白内障病人DR筛查效果及分期与FFA有很好的一致性。

Fundus autofluorescence in central serous chorioretinopathy: association with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography

and FA for identifying pathological abnormalities in CSC. The characteristics of IA AF in CSC were attributable to the modification of melanin in the RPE. IR- AIM: To evaluate the correlation among changes in fundus autofluorescence (AF) measured using infrared fundus AF (IR -AF) and short-wave length fundus AF (SW -AF) with changes in spectral -domain optical coherence tomography (SD -OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). METHODS: Two hundred and twenty consecutive patients with CSC were included. In addition to AF, patients were assessed by means of SD -OCT and FA. Abnormalities in images of IA -AF, SW -AF, FA were analyzed and correlated with the corresponding outer retinal alterations in SD-OCT findings. RESULTS: Eyes with abnormalities on either IR-AF or SW-AF were found in 256 eyes (58.18%), among them 256 eyes (100%) showed abnormal IR -AF, but SW-AF abnormalities were present only in 213 eyes (83.20%). The hypo-IR-AF corresponded to accumulation of subretinal liquid, collapse of retinal pigment epithelium (APE) or detachment of APE with or without RPE leakage point in the corresponding area. The hyper -IR -AF corresponded to the area with loss of the ellipsoid portion of the inner segments and sub -sensory retinal deposits or focal melanogenesis under sensory retina. The hypo-SW-AF corresponded to accumulation of subretinal liquid or atrophy of RPE. The hyper -SW -AF associated with sub -sensory retinal deposits, detachment of RPE and focal melanogenesis. CONCLUSION: IR-AF was more sensitive than SW-AF AF should be used as a common diagnostic tool for identifying pathological lesion in CSC.

Application of non-mydriatic fundus photography-assisted telemedicine in diabetic retinopathy screening

BACKGROUND Early screening and accurate staging of diabetic retinopathy(DR)can reduce blindness risk in type 2 diabetes patients.DR’s complex pathogenesis involves many factors,making ophthalmologist screening alone insufficient for prevention and treatment.Often,endocrinologists are the first to see diabetic patients and thus should screen for retinopathy for early intervention.AIM To explore the efficacy of non-mydriatic fundus photography(NMFP)-enhanced telemedicine in assessing DR and its various stages.METHODS This retrospective study incorporated findings from an analysis of 93 diabetic patients,examining both NMFP-assisted telemedicine and fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA).It focused on assessing the concordance in DR detection between these two methodologies.Additionally,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were generated to determine the optimal sensitivity and specificity of NMFP-assisted telemedicine,using FFA outcomes as the standard benchmark.RESULTS In the context of DR diagnosis and staging,the kappa coefficients for NMFPassisted telemedicine and FFA were recorded at 0.775 and 0.689 respectively,indicating substantial intermethod agreement.Moreover,the NMFP-assisted telemedicine’s predictive accuracy for positive FFA outcomes,as denoted by the area under the ROC curve,was remarkably high at 0.955,within a confidence interval of 0.914 to 0.995 and a statistically significant P-value of less than 0.001.This predictive model exhibited a specificity of 100%,a sensitivity of 90.9%,and a Youden index of 0.909.CONCLUSION NMFP-assisted telemedicine represents a pragmatic,objective,and precise modality for fundus examination,particularly applicable in the context of endocrinology inpatient care and primary healthcare settings for diabetic patients.Its implementation in these scenarios is of paramount significance,enhancing the clinical accuracy in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of DR.This methodology not only streamlines patient evaluation but also contributes substantially to the optimization of clinical outcomes in DR management.

Comparison of fundus fluorescein angiography and fundus photography grading criteria for early diabetic retinopathy

AIM:To compare the assessment outcomes of the characteristics of mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR) established by fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA).METHODS:The fundus photos and FFA results of 260 patients with diabetes mellitus were reviewed.Diabetic retinopathy(DR) severity was graded based on the international classification standard.The microaneurysms,hemorrhages,and intraretinal microvascular abnormalities(IRMA) in FFA images of patients with mild to moderate NPDR were observed.The differences between the fundus photos and the FFA results were summarized,analyzed,and compared.RESULTS:The counting of intraretinal hemorrhages identified by FFA revealed that only 9 eyes(1.9%) had more than 20 intraretinal hemorrhages in all four quadrants;15 eyes(3.1%) had more than 20 intraretinal hemorrhages in three quadrants;26 eyes(5.4%) had over 20 intraretinal hemorrhages in two quadrants;and 37 eyes(7.7%) had more than 20 intraretinal hemorrhages in only one quadrant.Furthermore,the number of IRMAs appeared ≥4 in 17 eyes,3 in 35 eyes,2 in 69 eyes,and 1 in 93 eyes.CONCLUSION:FFA has higher detection accuracy of retinal angiopathy than fundus photography.FFA grading results are helpful for timely detection and proper treatment of lesions easily missed by fundus photography.

Can Fundus Fluorescein Angiography be Performed for Diabetic Patients on Oral Metformin

Metformin is a kind of biguanide hypoglycemic agent that has been widely used in patients with diabetes mellitus. In clinical practice, whether metformin should be stopped before Fundus fluorescein angiography （FFA） remains largely unclear. Some endocrinologists suggest stop metformin before FFA. However, ophthalmologists do not always adopt this opinion in their practice. This situation may lead to disputes between physicians and patients. This article analyzed contrast-induced nephropathy（CIN） and the related contrast agent, as well as the adverse reactions of fluorescein angiography. It pointed out that the discrepancy may be caused by misunderstanding of contrast agents used in FFA. For angiography using iodine contrast agent, metformin must be stopped because of the increased possibility of CIN, while for FFA using fluorescein sodium, no CIN has been reported yet. Therefore, the authors believe FFA is safe for diabetic patients with oral metformin and it is unnecessary to stop metformin before the examination.

Risk factors for adverse reactions of fundus fluorescein angiography

Background:To explore the difference between the outcomes of correlations between a series of variables and adverse reactions(ARs)to fluorescein from univariate and multivariate analysis and to evaluate the nausea effects in different age groups.Methods:A retrospective study of patients undergoing consecutive fluorescein angiography between March2010 and February 2012 was conducted.No patients were excluded on the ground of age,presence of atopy,allergy history,previous procedures without severe allergic ARs,asymptomatic hypertension and kidney failure with serum creatinine levels lower than 250μmol/L or with renal dialysis.Results:A total of 829 patients were enrolled and 22.2%of them had ARs.The majority of reactions were nausea(12.1%)which occurred less when age became old(P<0.0001).When the correlations between a series of variables and ARs were assessed separately,age(P<0.0001),prior reactions(P<0.0001)and motion sickness(P=0.0062)were highly and cardio/cerebrovascular disease(P=0.0015),diabetes(P=0.0001)and renal disease(P=0.0219)were lowly related to ARs.However,when the correlations were assessed simultaneously,only age[odd ratio(OR)0.974;95%confidence interval(CI),0.962–0.986],prior reactions(OR 5.596;95%CI,2.083–15.029)and motion sickness(OR 4.849;95%CI,1.583–14.856)were statistically correlated with ARs.Conclusions:Fluorescein angiography is a safe procedure for patients who are relatively healthy but with a history of any systemic disease.Young age,prior reactions and motion sickness which are highly related to emetic events should be considered in the evaluation of ARs to fluorescein.

OCT和FFA联合检测对中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变发病机制的研究

背景以往中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变（CSC）的确诊主要依靠荧光素眼底血管造影（FFA），而光学断层相干扫描（OCT）与FFA的联合应用为CSC的动态观察及评价其发病机制提供了新的途径。目的通过将CSC患者的FFA图像导人OCT中，研究2种检查方法定位病变部位的一致性，探讨CSC的发病机制。方法44例单眼诊断为CSC的患者纳入本研究，包括男36例，女8例；年龄（39．34±5．3）岁，视力0．64±0．27。所有患者均进行了FFA和OCT检查。在Topcon3DOCT1000中导人FFA图像，直接对照OCT病灶与FFA渗漏点，观察二者病变部位的一致性，并用OCT方法测量中心凹神经上皮厚度及其脱离高度。结果OCT显示视网膜色素上皮（RPE）的改变包括RPE脱离34例（77．3％），RPE小隆起和粗糙10例（22．7％）；在RPE脱离的34眼中OCT与FFA定位一致者占31例31眼（91．2％），2种结果不一致者为3例3眼（8．8％）。OCT检测CSC患眼中心凹神经上皮层的厚度为（138．5±19．40）μm，与正常眼的（137．35±5．01）μm比较，差异无统计学意义（t=0．39，P〉0．05）；神经上皮层脱离的高度为（263．34±126．7）μm。结论CSC的病理机制为RPE脱离继发黄斑区神经上皮脱离，FFA渗漏点基本与OCT所测RPE脱离的部位相对应。无RPE脱离者可能与RPE通透性改变有关，OCT能精确测量中心凹神经上皮厚度及脱离的高度。

高度近视黄斑病变的OCT和FFA形态学分类的对比分析

目的:探讨高度近视黄斑病变的光学相干断层扫描(OCT)和眼底荧光血管造影(FFA)的形态学特征、分类和对比分析。方法:对入选的高度近视黄斑病变患者61例101眼均行标准对数视力表检查,验光确定屈光度及最佳矫正视力(BCVA),并用IOL-Master测量眼轴长度。入选者需在同一天内行散瞳眼底检查、OCT及FFA检查,必要时行眼底联合造影(FFA&ICGA)。分析不同类型的OCT及FFA形态学特征之间的相互联系,并探讨其与屈光度、最佳矫正视力、眼轴长度及中心凹厚度之间的关系。结果:FFA分类的漆样裂纹型在OCT分类的1型中所占比例为57.14%,显著高于新生血管型和黄斑萎缩型(21.43%),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。FFA分类的黄斑萎缩型在OCT分类的2型中所占的比例为67.80%,显著高于漆样裂纹型(18.64%)和新生血管型(13.56%),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。OCT 3型均属于FFA分类的黄斑萎缩型。OCT 1型的屈光度、眼轴长度明显低于2型和3型,而最佳矫正视力和中心凹厚度则明显高于2型和3型。FFA的漆样裂纹型与新生血管型在屈光度及眼轴长度上虽无明显差异,但后者的BCVA及中心凹厚度显著低于前者(P<0.05)。漆样裂纹型及新生血管型的屈光度、眼轴长度均显著低于黄斑萎缩型,最佳矫正视力则明显高于黄斑萎缩型(P<0.05)。结论:高度近视黄斑病变的OCT和FFA形态学特征密切相关,结合OCT和FFA的图像特征对高度近视黄斑病变形态学改变进行对比分析,不仅有助于明确病变的性质,提高我们对疾病发病机制及预后转归的认识,更为临床诊疗提供了有力的支持。

目的光学相干断层扫描（optical coherence tomography,OCT）与眼底荧光血管造影（fundus fluorescein angiography,FFA）在糖尿病视网膜病变临床前期的应用比较。方法 以2型糖尿病病史10～15a尚处于DR临床前期的患者76例为研究对象进行OCT和FFA检查,以及糖化血红蛋白（glycosylated hemoglobins A1c,HbAlc）、空腹血糖（fasting blood-glucose,FBG）等检测,记录患者视盘周围视网膜神经纤维层（retinal nerve fiber layer,RNFL）的厚度变化和视网膜微血管的异常情况,结合HbAlc、FBG等检测结果分析两者的关系。结果 OCT或FFA检查异常者共31例（占40.8%）,其中19例兼有OCT检查异常（RNFL变薄）和FFA检查异常（出现异常荧光）,10例仅表现为OCT检查异常,2例仅表现为FFA检查异常。OCT的阳性检出率（29例,38.2%）高于FFA（21例,27.6%）,差异有统计学意义（P≤0.05）;OCT检查阳性者29例HbAlc的检测值（6.98±1.01）%高于检查阴性者47例（6.52±0.86）%,差异也有统计学意义（P〈0.05）;OCT检查阳性者FBG检测值（7.51±0.81）mmol·L^-1与阴性者（7.38±0.72）mmol·L^-1比较差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。结论 OCT和FFA是发现早期DR的有效检查手段,两者相比较OCT更为敏感,而且为无创性检查,更适用于DR筛查和随访复检。
