Introducing RPE-Baseline
In SD-OCT volumetric imaging you cannot always see Bruch’s membrane, the innermost layer of the choroid, lying at the base of the retinal layers. It is an important structural landmark for a variety of reasons and one that is important, therefore, to delineate in automated analysis. If it could always…
Real-Time Optical Coherence Tomography Segmentation?
The recent publication, “Real-Time Automatic Segmentation of Optical Coherence Tomography Volume Data of the Macular Region” by Tian et al. [1] raises the obvious question of what actually constitutes “real-time” processing? More broadly speaking, the paper reports on some segmentation results of OCT volumes acquired at the macula. The method…
OCT Angiography Summit – Technologies Session
OCT Angiography Technologies OHSU, Casey Eye Institute, July 25th, 2015. This past weekend I attended the first OCT angiography summit at the Casey Eye Institute, at Oregon Health and Science University. Held at an extremely impressive facility, this inaugural summit brought together the key innovators in OCT angiography (OCT-A), both…
The emerging potential of advanced OCT-based biomarkers
Neuronal loss of ganglion cells in the retina is an established hallmark of a number of diseases. As such, a number of clinical trials use the ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness - or a complex thereof - as measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging as a biomarker. For example,…
Orion in action!
Researchers in Barcelona at the August Pi i Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS) recently used OrionTM to demonstrate inner retinal biomarkers for prediction of visual function loss in non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy. For more information please see the paper or the OctNews release.

Some Notes from: Glaucoma 360 – New Horizons Forum
On Friday the 6th of February, I attended the Glaucoma 360 New Horizons forum, a meeting bringing together clinicians, scientists, venture capitalists, as well as representatives from device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and the FDA. Typically, the Friday meeting’s focus – at least in the three years that I have attended…
Orion wins innovation award!
We are very pleased to announce that Orion, our OCT analysis software, has made the Ophthalmologist’s 2014 Innovation awards! Judges’ comments: “Good alternative in hospitals with different OCT manufacturers to have same software for evaluation. https://theophthalmologist.com/issues/the-stars-of-2014/
The eye is a window to the brain; but who’s looking?
As an extension of the central nervous system, the eye offers a window to the brain. Since the advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, in vivo cross-sectional imaging of the human retina has become commonplace, facilitating quantitative measurements of neuronal layer thicknesses at the micron scale. Pioneering work by…
Orion is in beta – Voxeleron prepares the release of their advanced OCT analysis software
Orion™, Voxeleron’s advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis software, is currently being beta tested at a number of sites in the USA and Europe in preparation for release. Orion™ is an application that offers fully-automated, rapid and accurate segmentation of seven layers in OCT images of the human retina. Following…
