Standardized conversion model for retinal thickness measurements between spectral-domain and swept-source optical coherence tomography based on machine learning by Zhongping Tian, Yinning Guo, Xi Chen, Qifeng Zhou, Yuan Liu, Zhizhu Yi, Li Zhang, Li Zhang

“…PurposeTo conduct a systematic comparative analysis of macular retinal thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness measurements between spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) in healthy individuals, while establishing standardized cross-platform conversion algorithms through machine learning methodologies.MethodsIn this cross-sectional investigation, 48 healthy adults (96 eyes) underwent macular retinal thickness assessment (ETDRS grid sectors), RNFL analysis (quadrant sectors), and GCIPL evaluation (six-sector annular divisions) using both SD-OCT (Cirrus HD-OCT 5000) and SS-OCT (Triton DRI-OCT). …”
