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…
Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of Diseases of the Central Nervous System
The eye as a window to the central nervous system Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive, non-contact structural imaging modality (Huang D, 1991), that has unique utility in a number of life science applications. In ophthalmology it is used to generate in vivo, micron scale, cross-sectional imagery of ocular…
New Research Sets the Stage for Noninvasive Monitoring of HIV-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Corneal nerve fiber assessment proposed for managing patients with HIV-induced peripheral neuropathy, according to The American Journal of Pathology Philadelphia, PA, May 12, 2014 – Corneal nerve fiber assessment has great potential as a tool to diagnose and monitor peripheral neuropathy induced by HIV, say scientists at the Johns Hopkins…

Glaucoma 360 New Horizons – Pt2
This is another transcript of my notes and thoughts from the New Horizons conference that took place February 1st, 2013 in San Francisco. Along with Part 1, which covered the keynote, this will then conclude the entire morning session from that day. Leading off after the keynote was Dr. Ike…
Voxeleron’s Super Strikers Tie 1st Place!
Pleasanton, CA. Following an exciting end to the season, Voxeleron's sponsored softball team tied first place in their division of the Pleasanton Girls Softball League . Head coach, Jamie, a former Florida State softball player, said, "Phew, that was close." First basegirl, Amali, was equally relieved: "Can we have the BBQ…
Glaucoma 360 New Horizons – Pt1
I recently attended the 2nd Annual Glaucoma 360: New Horizons Forum. As explained by the organizers, it was created to highlight unmet clinical needs in the field of glaucoma. To do this, the forum is open to academia and industry, bringing together known leaders in science, business, venture capital and…
Retinal Layer Segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has dramatically changed diagnostics in ophthalmology. The first publication of cross-sectional images of the human retina occurred in [Huang 1991], and its commercial introduction soon followed in 1996. Such cross-sectional images of the retina allow clinicians to quantify retinal thickness changes, which relates directly to macular…
