The intrascleral aqueous drainage system would be a potential application for a contrast agent, because the aqueous veins are of small diameter and located deep inside the highly scattering sclera. We tested lipid emulsions (LEs) as candidate OCT contrast agents in vitro and ex vivo, including milk and the anesthetic substance Propofol. Methods: Commercial OCT and OCT angiography (OCTA) devices were used. Maximum reflectivity and signal transmission of LE were determined in tube phantoms. Absorption spectra and light scattering was analyzed. The anterior chamber of enucleated porcine eyes was perfused with LEs, and OCTA imaging of the LEs drained via the aqueous outflow tract was performed. Results: All LEs showed a significantly higher reflectivity than water (P < 0.001). Higher milk lipid content was positively correlated with maximum reflectivity and negatively with signal transmission. Propofol exhibited the best overall performance. Due to a high degree of signal fluctuation, OCTA could be applied for detection of LE. Compared with blood, the OCTA signal of Propofol was significantly stronger (P = 0.001). As a proof of concept, time-resolved aqueous angiography of porcine eyes was performed. The three-dimensional (3D) structure and dynamics of the aqueous outflow were significantly different from humans. Conclusions: LEs induced a strong signal in OCT and OCTA. LE-based OCTA allowed the ability to obtain time-resolved 3D datasets of aqueous outflow. Possible interactions of LE with inner eye's structures need to be further investigated before in vivo application."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1167/iovs.18-25223"],["dc.identifier.pmid","30682210"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15874"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59715"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1552-5783"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Lipid Emulsion-Based OCT Angiography for Ex Vivo Imaging of the Aqueous Outflow Tract."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

METHODS: Prospective, single center study. A total of 162 eyes of 123 consecutive patients referred for cataract surgery with a visual acuity better than 20/100, absence of macular symptoms such as metamorphopsia, no history of previous intravitreal procedures and a normal funduscopic appearance on biomicroscopy underwent an additional SD-OCT-examination prior to cataract surgery. OCT-scans were classified in three categories: normal, degenerative vitreous changes without impact on visual outcome or pathological with potential impact on visual outcome. RESULTS: 80 eyes (49.38%) showed normal OCT-scans. 69 eyes (42.59%) were classified as degenerative vitreous changes without impact on visual outcome and 20 eyes (12.35%) as pathological with potential impact on visual outcome. The indication of cataract surgery or the therapeutic strategy remained unchanged in all patients. In patients with pathological alterations further follow-up examinations were recommended. CONCLUSIONS: Routine SD-OCT-imaging of the macular region in patients prior to cataract surgery was feasible to detect macular pathologies in a considerable number of patients, which remained undiagnosed on biomicroscopic funduscopy. Although OCT-findings did not impact therapeutic strategy in this study, preoperative judgement of the expected visual outcome and patient´s informed consent can improve."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0208980"],["dc.identifier.pmid","30533037"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15831"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59676"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Optical coherence tomography findings in patients prior to cataract surgery regarded as unremarkable with ophthalmoscopy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
