To compare angle-to-angle (ATA) distance and aqueous depth (AQD) readings produced by two different optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices and a Scheimpflug camera.
ATA distance and AQD were measured in 60 eyes using the Visante time-domain OCT (TD-OCT) (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG), the Anterion swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH), and the Pentacam HR Scheimpflug camera (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH). Moreover, ATA distance was measured along the horizontal and vertical meridians. Bland-Altman analysis was used to assess the agreement between devices.
All three devices did not yield similar horizontal ATA distance: 11.96 ± 0.47 mm (TD-OCT), 11.96 ± 0.42 mm (SS-OCT), and 11.05 ± 0.52 mm (Pentacam). More specifically, the Pentacam yielded significantly smaller values (approximately 0.9 mm, P < .001). Mean vertical ATA distance was 12.61 ± 0.65 and 12 ± 0.65 mm for the TD-OCT and SS-OCT, respectively (P = .983). Vertical ATA distance was significantly larger than horizontal ATA distance for both OCT devices (approximately 0.6 mm, P < .001). The lowest mean difference was found between both OCT devices (0.0068 and -0.0415 mm, for horizontal and vertical meridians, respectively) and the highest between the Pentacam and the two OCT devices (approximately 0.9 mm). As for AQD, inter-device mean values were also statistically significant: 2.89 ± 0.48, 2.82 ± 0.49, and 2.79 ± 0.50 mm, for the TD-OCT, SS-OCT, and Pentacam, respectively (P < .001). Mean differences were similar for the TD-OCT versus SS-OCT and SS-OCT versus Pentacam (approximately 0.02 mm), and larger between the TD-OCT and Pentacam (approximately 0.05 mm).
The results show that the TD-OCT and SS-OCT are interchangeable instruments for ATA distance measurement but the Pentacam is not with either of the two OCT devices. A clinical criterion should assess whether these three devices could be used interchangeably for AQD measurement. [J Refract Surg. 2021;37(2):133-140.].
比较两种不同的光学相干断层扫描(OCT)设备和 Scheimpflug 相机的角对角(ATA)距离和房水深度(AQD)读数。
使用 Visante 时域 OCT(TD-OCT)(卡尔蔡司 Meditec AG)、Anterion 扫频源 OCT(SS-OCT)(海德堡工程有限公司)和 Pentacam HR Scheimpflug 相机(Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH)测量 60 只眼的 ATA 距离和 AQD。此外,ATA 距离沿水平和垂直子午线进行测量。Bland-Altman 分析用于评估设备之间的一致性。
三种设备的水平 ATA 距离均不相似:11.96 ± 0.47 mm(TD-OCT)、11.96 ± 0.42 mm(SS-OCT)和 11.05 ± 0.52 mm(Pentacam)。更具体地说,Pentacam 产生的数值显著较小(约 0.9 mm,P <.001)。TD-OCT 和 SS-OCT 的平均垂直 ATA 距离分别为 12.61 ± 0.65 和 12 ± 0.65 mm(P =.983)。垂直 ATA 距离明显大于两种 OCT 设备的水平 ATA 距离(约 0.6 mm,P <.001)。两种 OCT 设备之间的平均差异最小(0.0068 和 -0.0415 mm,分别用于水平和垂直子午线),Pentacam 与两种 OCT 设备之间的差异最大(约 0.9 mm)。对于 AQD,设备间的平均值也具有统计学意义:2.89 ± 0.48、2.82 ± 0.49 和 2.79 ± 0.50 mm,分别用于 TD-OCT、SS-OCT 和 Pentacam(P <.001)。TD-OCT 与 SS-OCT 以及 SS-OCT 与 Pentacam 之间的平均差异相似(约 0.02 mm),而 TD-OCT 与 Pentacam 之间的差异较大(约 0.05 mm)。
结果表明,TD-OCT 和 SS-OCT 可互换用于 ATA 距离测量,但 Pentacam 与两种 OCT 设备均不兼容。临床标准应评估这三种设备是否可用于 AQD 测量的互换性。[J Refract Surg. 2021;37(2):133-140.]。
