Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the intra- and interday repeatability of ocular blood flow velocity index (BFVi) measurements using a laser speckle contrast imaging device.
Methods: BFVi measurements were obtained using XyCAM CRE (Vasoptic Medical Inc., Columbia, MD). Two imaging sessions were performed on the same day (26 eyes) and on different days (20 eyes). For optic nerve head-centered datasets, the analyzed regions included the overall field of view, the optic disc, and a standard temporal peripapillary region. For macula-centered datasets, the regions analyzed were the overall field of view, the foveal avascular zone, and the perifoveal region. For each region, heart rate-adjusted measurements of the peak, dip, and mean BFVi were assessed.
Results: For intraday measurements of all the optic nerve head-centered parameters, the coefficients of variation (CVs) ranged from 4.8% to 8.5%, and the intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.74 to 0.98. For all macula-centered parameters, the CVs ranged from 4.7% to 6.2%, and the ICCs ranged from 0.93 to 0.98. For the interday measurements of all the optic nerve head-centered parameters, the CVs ranged from 7.9% to 12.6%, and the ICCs ranged from 0.56 to 0.93. For all the macula-centered parameters, the CVs ranged from 8.6% to 15.0%, and the intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.79 to 0.94.
Conclusions: Laser speckle contrast imaging demonstrated strong intraday repeatability and reliability for BFVi measurement in healthy subjects, with good interday reliability for key parameters despite some variability.
Translational relevance: Laser speckle contrast imaging shows promise for clinical use in ophthalmology due to its robust intraday and good interday reliability for ocular blood flow velocity measurements.
期刊介绍:
Translational Vision Science & Technology (TVST), an official journal of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), an international organization whose purpose is to advance research worldwide into understanding the visual system and preventing, treating and curing its disorders, is an online, open access, peer-reviewed journal emphasizing multidisciplinary research that bridges the gap between basic research and clinical care. A highly qualified and diverse group of Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members is led by Editor-in-Chief Marco Zarbin, MD, PhD, FARVO.
The journal covers a broad spectrum of work, including but not limited to:
Applications of stem cell technology for regenerative medicine,
Development of new animal models of human diseases,
Tissue bioengineering,
Chemical engineering to improve virus-based gene delivery,
Nanotechnology for drug delivery,
Design and synthesis of artificial extracellular matrices,
Development of a true microsurgical operating environment,
Refining data analysis algorithms to improve in vivo imaging technology,
Results of Phase 1 clinical trials,
Reverse translational ("bedside to bench") research.
TVST seeks manuscripts from scientists and clinicians with diverse backgrounds ranging from basic chemistry to ophthalmic surgery that will advance or change the way we understand and/or treat vision-threatening diseases. TVST encourages the use of color, multimedia, hyperlinks, program code and other digital enhancements.
