Swept source optical coherence tomography compared to ultrasound and biomicroscopy for diagnosis of posterior vitreous detachment
Clinical Ophthalmology Feb 13, 2021
Wang MD, Truong C, Mammo Z, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective observational study to evaluate the accuracy of the diagnosis of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) by SS-OCT. They studied 95 eyes of 49 patients with biomicroscopy, B-scan ultrasound, and SS-OCT for the presence or absence of a complete PVD. Two retina specialists have reviewed all SS-OCT images. All three diagnostic methods were assessed for agreement by Cohen’s kappa statistic. Data reported that the inter-rater reliability was 97.9% among retina specialists reading the SS-OCT images. Findings revealed that the PVD status agreement between SS-OCT and biomicroscopy was 85.3%. SS-OCT allows for high precision and consensus between graders to diagnose complete PVD.
