retinal pigment epithelium hyperplasia overlying pigment epithelial detachment in age related macular degeneration can masquerade as neovascularization on optical coherence tomography angiography
Graefes Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2018Co-Authors: Ling Chen, Xiongze Zhang, Yuxin ZhangAbstract:PURPOSE: To report the Image Artifacts due to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) hyperplasia overlying retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which can masquerade as neovascularization on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS: A hospital-based, retrospective, and cross-sectional study. Twenty-two eyes from 16 patients with non-vascularized PED related to AMD were included in this study. All patients were examined by OCTA, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, fluorescence angiography, and indocyanine green angiography. Vascular flow signals (VFS) on both the outer retinal slab of en face OCTA and cross-sectional OCTA and their correspondence with RPE hyperplasia were evaluated. RESULTS: Fifteen eyes (68.2%) showed VFS on both the outer retina slab of en face OCTA and cross-sectional OCTA, all corresponding to the RPE hyperplasia overlying PED. Among them, 12 eyes with lump RPE hyperplasia outside foveal avascular zone (FAZ) all showed obvious VFS on the outer retina slab of OCTA, and 3 eyes with scattered RPE hyperplasia outside FAZ showed VFS fragments. Of note, 4 eyes had accompanied RPE hyperplasia inside FAZ, and 7 eyes without RPE hyperplasia overlying PED showed no corresponding VFS on the outer retina slab of OCTA. Additionally, a round-like dark band at the edge of PED was observed in the outer retina slab on en face OCTA in 17 eyes (77.3%). CONCLUSIONS: RPE hyperplasia overlying PED in AMD can masquerade as neovascularization on OCTA. To avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment, this RPE hyperplasia-related Image Artifact should be considered when interpreting OCTA Images.

Artifact and noise suppression in grappa imaging using improved k space coil calibration and variable density sampling
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2005Co-Authors: Jaeseok Park, Qiang Zhang, Vladimir Jellus, Orlando P SimonettiAbstract:A parallel imaging technique, GRAPPA (GeneRalized Auto-calibrating Partially Parallel Acquisitions), has been used to improve temporal or spatial resolution. Coil calibration in GRAPPA is performed in central k-space by fitting a target signal using its adjacent signals. Missing signals in outer k-space are reconstructed. However, coil calibration operates with signals that exhibit large amplitude variation while reconstruction is performed using signals with small amplitude variation. Different signal variations in coil calibration and reconstruction may result in residual Image Artifact and noise. The purpose of this work was to improve GRAPPA coil calibration and variable density (VD) sampling for suppressing residual Artifact and noise. The proposed coil calibration was performed in local k-space along both the phase and frequency encoding directions. Outer k-space was acquired with two different reduction factors. Phantom data were reconstructed by both the conventional GRAPPA and the improved technique for comparison at an acceleration of two. Under the same acceleration, optimal sampling and calibration parameters were determined. An in vivo Image was reconstructed in the same way using the predetermined optimal parameters. The performance of GRAPPA was improved by the localized coil calibration and VD sampling scheme.
