- Agreement Between Structural Measures of Glaucoma Progression
using Heidelberg Retina Tomograph Topographic Change Analysis John
P. Dunn, Frederick G. Boyd, Peter J. Wiley, Philip J. Roswell,
Kevin T. Smith, Hamilton Glaucoma Center, Department of
Ophthalmology, University of California, San Diego Confocal
scanning laser tomography can be used to produce a topographic
height map of the optic disc and peripapillary retina with high
spatial resolution. This has potential advantages over conventional
disc photography in terms of rapid image acquisition, quantitative
analysis, and the ability to obtain highquality images without
pupil dilation. 1 The high spatial resolution of the Heidelberg
Retina Tomograph (HRT; Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Dossenheim,
Germany) allows the regional variability of measurements to be
calculated 2,3 which, once known, permits the detection of a
statistically significant change in the same optic disc over time.
Recently, this statistical technique described by Chauhan et al 4
has been incorporated into the HRT. The technique has the advantage
that the user is not required to draw around the disc margin
(contour line) and does not rely on an arbitrary depth for the
definition of disc cupping (reference plane). A recent longitudinal
study comparing change detection using HRTTCA and standard
perimetry-based glaucoma change probability analysis in 77 eyes
showed agreement between these techniques of 27% for detecting
change. 61 subjects were included. The characteristics of the
subjects are presented in Table 1. Agreement for detecting
progression by stereophotographs and HRT-TCA was fair (Kappa =
0.29, SE = 0.11). 7 eyes progressed on photographs between baseline
and the ante-penultimate HRT, 6 (86%) of which also showed evidence
of progression on the HRT-TCA (Table 2). If photographic evidence
is considered the gold standard for judging whether progression has
occurred, the HRT-TCA had a sensitivity of 86% (95% CI: 56.2 to
100%) and specificity of 70% (95% CI: 57.3 to 83.5%). By recording
location of change we were able to compare the quadrants in which
change had occurred. The position of the areas of change
corresponded exactly between HRT-TCA and photographs in those eyes
where the two techniques agreed. 1. Zangwill LM, Berry CC, Garden

L, Weitzman M, Caprioli J. Regional test-retest variability of
confocal scanning laser tomography. Am J Ophthalmol
1995;120(4):433-40. HRT is the only instrument that has been
available for this period of time and whose measurements have been
consistent despite changes in imaging technology. High sensitivity
achieved with HRT-TCA for detection of glaucomatous progression in
eyes that had progressed by photographs, but specificity was
poorer. Low specificity might be attributable to early detection of
progression by HRT-TCA. In eyes where both photography and HRT-TCA
agreed that progression had occurred, the quadrants of change
corresponded exactly. Concordance between photographs and HRT-TCA
of 72% compared with a previous study that reported 81%
concordance. 5 Current study had longer period of follow-up and
more patients with photography and HRT than previous study.
INTRODUCTION To investigate agreement for glaucoma progression
using Heidelberg Retina Tomograph Topographic Change Analysis
(HRTTCA) and stereoscopic optic disc photography. PURPOSE Inclusion
Criteria Open angles. Best corrected acuity of 20/40 or better.
Spherical refraction within 5.0 D, and cylinder correction within
3.0 D. 4 good quality serial 15 HRT images (usually performed
annually) from the study eye (randomly selected) over a period of 4
years. A good quality optic disc photograph taken within 3 months
of the first HRT, with a later photograph with a close
chronological match to the final HRT. Exclusion Criteria
Non-glaucomatous secondary causes of elevated IOP. Other
intraocular eye disease. Other diseases affecting the visual field.
Eyes which had undergone a trabeculectomy during the period of
follow-up. Stereophotograph-based progressive optic disc changes
Evidence of glaucomatous optic disc progression was based on
standardized assessment of simultaneous stereoscopic photographs by
two experienced graders. Disagreements between the two graders were
resolved either by consensus or by adjudication by a third
experienced grader. HRT-TCA-based progressive optic disc changes
Eyes with a cluster of 20 super pixels of topographic change within
the disc margin compared with baseline in 3 consecutive sets of
follow-up images were considered to have confirmed progression.
Agreement Analysis A stereophotograph was matched to within three
months of the baseline HRT date. A second stereophotograph was then
matched as closely as possible to the last HRT date. The photograph
pair was graded for evidence of progression. If no progression was
detected, it was assumed that no progression had occurred earlier
to this date. If progression was detected, a stereophotograph
matched to the ante-penultimate date (i.e., the latest date at
which HRT progression could be confirmed by 2 subsequent follow-up
HRTs), or close to it, was compared to the baseline photograph. The
result of the latter photographic-pair grading was used to compare
with the HRT-TCA result. METHODS RESULTS CONCLUSIONS Literature
Cited Quantitatively measuring the three vital structures, cup,
rim, and RNFL, needed to make a complete assessment of glaucoma.

- Avoiding Common Mistakes When using acronyms or numbers, scale
them down so they dont overpower the surrounding text (sometimes
small caps will work) Set line-spacing to exactly 1 Set the amount
of tab space manually with a ruler Keep spacing between words to
one space
- Slide 36
- Avoiding Common Mistakes Avoid using dark backgrounds Check
your color usage using Vischeck (at vischeck.com) to insure that
the color scheme can be discerned by those with color blindness (8%
of males; 0.5% of females)

- Avoiding Common Mistakes Keep in mind that your screen colors
are RGB and your printer colors are CMYK Add titles to your
