Comparison between nonmydriatic spectral domain optical coherence tomography and conventional ophthalmologic examination in detecting adult macular pathology
Ophthalmologica May 20, 2018
Mehanna CJ, et al. - Researchers sought to compare nonmydriatic spectral domain optical coherence tomography (NMOCT) to comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation (COE) in detecting adult macular abnormalities. They performed a single-reader observational pilot study of adults older than 50 years with no known ophthalmologic problems to evaluate the correlation between NMOCT and COE in detecting macular abnormalities classified as epiretinal, intraretinal, subretinal, or a combination thereof. As per data, for detecting adult macular abnormalities, NMOCT was a promising tool. In detecting each category of macular abnormalities, sensitivities and specificities of NMOCT were as follows: epiretinal (86.36%, 99.73%), intraretinal (80.00%, 99.58%), and subretinal (88.89%, 99.73%), respectively.
