Wan B, Zhang X, Qi Y, She H, Wang Z, Jin ZB. Parallel comparison of ocular metrics in non-human primates with high myopia by LS900, ultrasonography and MRI-based 3D reconstruction. Exp Eye Res 2024; 246:110007. [PMID: 39029552 DOI: 10.1016/j.exer.2024.110007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
We investigate the ocular dimensions and shape by using Lenstar900 (LS900), A-scan ultrasonography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in highly myopic Macaca fascicularis. The ocular dimensions data of LS900, A-scan ultrasonography and MRI was assessed from 8 eyes (4 adult male cynomolgus macaque) with extremely high myopia (≤-1000DS) and compared by means of coefficients of concordance and 95% limits of agreement. Multiple regression analysis was performed to explore the associations between ocular biometry, volume, refraction and inter-instrument discrepancies. Test-retest reliability of three measurements of ocular parameters at two time points was almost equal (intraclass correlation = 0.831 to 1.000). The parallel-forms reliability of three measurements was strong for vitreous chamber depth (VCD) (coefficient of concordance = 0.919 to 0.981), moderate for axial length (AL) (coefficient of concordance = 0.486 to 0.981), and weak for anterior chamber depth (ACD) (coefficient of concordance = 0.267 to 0.621) and lens thickness (LT) (coefficient of concordance = 0.035 to 0.631). The LS900 and MRI systematically underestimated the ACD and LT comparing to A-scan ultrasonography (P < 0.05). Notably, the average AL on LS900 displayed a significant correlation with those on MRI (r = 0.978, P < 0.001) and A-scan ultrasonography (r = 0.990, P < 0.001). Almost 4/5 eyeballs were prolate. The mean eyeball volume positively correlated with AL (r = 0.782, P = 0.022), the width (r = 0.945, P = 0.000), and the length (r = 0.782, P = 0.022) of eyeball, while negatively correlated with SER (r = -0.901, P = 0.000). In conclusion, there was a high inter-instrument concordance for VCD with LS900, A-scan ultrasonography and MRI, while ACD and LT were underestimated with LS900 compared to A-scan ultrasonography, and the LS900 and A-scan ultrasonography could reliably measure the AL. MRI further revealed an equatorial globe shape in extremely myopic non-human primates.

Geometrical accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging for ocular proton therapy planning. Phys Imaging Radiat Oncol 2024; 31:100598. [PMID: 38993288 PMCID: PMC11234150 DOI: 10.1016/j.phro.2024.100598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background & purpose Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used in treatment preparation of ocular proton therapy, but its spatial accuracy might be limited by geometric distortions due to susceptibility artefacts. A correct geometry of the MR images is paramount since it defines where the dose will be delivered. In this study, we assessed the geometrical accuracy of ocular MRI. Materials & methods A dedicated ocular 3 T MRI protocol, with localized shimming and increased gradients, was compared to computed tomography (CT) and X-ray images in a phantom and in 15 uveal melanoma patients. The MRI protocol contained three-dimensional T2-weighted and T1-weighted sequences with an isotropic reconstruction resolution of 0.3-0.4 mm. Tantalum clips were identified by three observers and clip-clip distances were compared between T2-weighted and T1-weighted MRI, CT and X-ray images for the phantom and between MRI and X-ray images for the patients. Results Interobserver variability was below 0.35 mm for the phantom and 0.30(T1)/0.61(T2) mm in patients. Mean absolute differences between MRI and reference were below 0.27 ± 0.16 mm and 0.32 ± 0.23 mm for the phantom and in patients, respectively. In patients, clip-clip distances were slightly larger on MRI than on X-ray images (mean difference T1: 0.11 ± 0.38 mm, T2: 0.10 ± 0.44 mm). Differences did not increase at larger distances and did not correlate to interobserver variability. Conclusions A dedicated ocular MRI protocol can produce images of the eye with a geometrical accuracy below half the MRI acquisition voxel (<0.4 mm). Therefore, these images can be used for ocular proton therapy planning, both in the current model-based workflow and in proposed three-dimensional MR-based workflows.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2023; 64:41. [PMID: 38153751 PMCID: PMC10756250 DOI: 10.1167/iovs.64.15.41] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the association between eye shape and volume measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical biometry and with spherical equivalent (SE) in children. Methods For this study, there were 3637 10-year-old children from a population-based birth-cohort study that underwent optical biometry (IOL-master 500) and T2-weighted MRI scanning (height, width, and volume). Cycloplegic refractive error was determined by automated refraction. The MRI images of the eyes were segmented using an automated algorithm combining atlas registration with voxel classification. Associations among optical biometry, anthropometry, MRI measurements, and RE were tested using Pearson correlation. Differences between refractive error groups were tested using ANOVA. Results The mean volume of the posterior segment was 6350 (±680) mm3. Myopic eyes (SE ≤ -0.5 diopters [D]) had 470 mm3 (P < 0.001) and 970 mm3 (P < 0.001) larger posterior segment volume than emmetropic and hyperopic eyes (SE ≥ +2.0D), respectively. The majority of eyes (77.1%) had an oblate shape, but 47.4% of myopic eyes had a prolate shape versus 3.9% of hyperopic eyes. The correlation between SE and MRI-derived posterior segment length (r -0.51, P < 0.001) was stronger than the correlation with height (r -0.30, P < 0.001) or width of the eye (r -0.10, P < 0.001). Conclusions In this study, eye shape at 10 years of age was predominantly oblate, even in eyes with myopia. Of all MRI measurements, posterior segment length was most prominently associated with SE. Whether eye shape predicts future myopia development or progression should be investigated in longitudinal studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine normal globe position values, interzygomatic distance (IZD), and globe axial length and width on computed tomography in an Australian cohort. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Patients who underwent computed tomography of the orbits. Patients with bilateral disease, previous orbital surgery, or poor scan quality were excluded. METHODS An axial slice through the midglobe was used to conduct the globe position measurements. Anterior globe position was defined as the perpendicular distance from the anterior globe margin to the interzygomatic line and posterior globe position as the perpendicular distance from the posterior globe margin to the interzygomatic line. RESULTS The normal measurements (mean ± SD) were IZD, 97.4 ± 4.1 mm; anterior globe position, 18.8 ± 2.8 mm; posterior globe position, 6.2 ± 2.9 mm; axial globe length, 24.9 ± 1.1 mm; and axial globe width, 25.9 ± 1.2 mm. A significant positive correlation was seen between the IZD and the anterior globe position (r = 0.15, p = 0.03), axial globe length (r = 0.33, p < 0.01), and axial globe width (r = 0.30, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION This normative globe position data may be used to diagnose radiologic exophthalmos or enophthalmos.

Abstract
PURPOSE We constructed a custom-made vitreoretinal surgical simulator using a silicone mold and described its practicality. METHODS We obtained spherical silicone molds, mannequins, and spray material from an internet-based vendor and combined them with expired surgical instruments to complete the simulator. Vitreoretinal experts confirmed the practicality of the simulator after simulated vitrectomy, and the results of the questionnaires were confirmed by nonvitreoretinal experts. RESULTS Vitreoretinal experts observed that the simulated eyeball and the actual eyeball were similar in size and rigidity and that the intraocular practice swing seemed to be useful for the prevention of complications. The semitransparency and open-sky structure of the silicone material ensured visibility. The simulated membrane, which was spray glue, provided an excellent peeling sensation. In the results of the nonvitreoretinal experts' questionnaires, the average scores of all items were generally high, which supported the claims of the simulator's usefulness. CONCLUSION This report describes the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of our custom-made simulator and its contribution in creating an ideal training environment that does not necessitate travel to special facilities that offer a large number of pig eyes and vitreous surgical machines. The simple shape seems to allow many possibilities, and further verification at multiple facilities is necessary.

Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based and Conventional Measurements for Proton Beam Therapy of Uveal Melanoma. Ophthalmol Retina 2023; 7:178-188. [PMID: 35840053 DOI: 10.1016/j.oret.2022.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Conventionally, ocular proton therapy (PT) is planned using measurements obtained by an ophthalmologist using ultrasound, fundoscopy, biometry, and intraoperative assessments. Owing to the recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of uveal melanoma (UM), it is possible to acquire high-resolution 3-dimensional images of the eye, providing the opportunity to incorporate MRI in ocular PT planning. In this study, we described how these measurements can be obtained using MRI, compared the MRI-based measurements with conventional ophthalmic measurements, and identified potential pitfalls for both modalities. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Data from 23 consecutive patients with UM treated with PT were retrospectively evaluated. METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging-based measurements of axial length, tumor height and basal diameter, and marker-tumor distances were compared with the conventional ophthalmic measurements, and discrepancies were evaluated in a multidisciplinary setting. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Tumor prominence and basal diameters on MRI and ultrasound, axial length on MRI and biometry, tumor-marker distances on MRI and measured intraoperatively. RESULTS The mean absolute differences of the tumor height and basal diameter measurements between ultrasound and MRI were 0.57 mm and 1.44 mm, respectively. Larger absolute differences in height and basal diameter were observed when the full tumor extent was not visible on ultrasound (0.92 mm and 1.67 mm, respectively) compared with when the full tumor extent was visible (0.44 mm and 1.15 mm, respectively). When the full tumor was not visible on ultrasound, MRI was considered more reliable. Tumor-marker distances measured using MRI and intraoperative techniques differed < 1 mm in 55% of the markers. For anteriorly located and mushroom-shaped tumors (25% of the markers), MRI provided more accurate measurements. In flat UM (15% of the markers), however, it was difficult to delineate the tumor on MRI. The mean absolute difference in axial length between optical biometry and MRI was 0.50 mm. The presence of the tumor was found to influence optical biometry in 15 of 22 patients; the remaining patients showed a better agreement (0.30 mm). Magnetic resonance imaging-based biometry was considered more reliable in patients with UM. CONCLUSIONS Magnetic resonance imaging allowed for the 3-dimensional assessment of the tumor and surrounding tissue. In specific patients, it provided a more reliable measurement of axial length, tumor dimensions, and marker-tumor distances and could contribute to a more accurate treatment planning. Nevertheless, a combined evaluation remains advised, especially for flat UM.
