Macular Ganglion Cell Detection, & OCT-A https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1788588 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 02:09:22 GMT Wed, 28 Aug 2024 15:54:13 GMT Copyright © 2024 Ophthalmic Photographers' Society Macular Ganglion Cell Detection, & OCT-A https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1788588 https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1788588 Greetings! I have a doctor interested in an OCT that measures macular ganglion cells. Any ideas on this? 

Also, he is asking about better OCT-A's than what we have, which is an old Optovue OCT-A. Thoughts? 

Thanks in advance!

IMHO, the best looking OCTAs i have seen come from a Zeiss PlexElite, but it doesn't do a very good job tracking the eye so sometimes it takes me a great deal of time and effort to get a good scan. Again IMHO, the best bang for the buck for OCTA is the Optovue Solix. It is the new device from Optovue that takes the place of the Avanti, which is a good device as well but is slowly being phased out by Optovue and if your model is old enough, they will not repair it any longer. Heidelberg has an OCTA device as well, and while the Spectralis is my favorite OCT device, it is not my favorite OCTA device. I cannot answer the question that you have about ganglion cell analysis.]]> Tue, 13 Aug 2024 17:14:58 GMT https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1788632 https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1788632
Heidelberg's Nsite software allows for ganglion cell reports for ganglion cell thickness maps, I'm not sure if that's what wyou're looking for when it comes to measuring macular ganglion cells. Our Neuro team really prefers the Nsite analytics over the original glaucoma suite's analytics, our glaucoma team is kind of a 50/50 split on which suite they prefer with ganglion cell reports from our spectralis systems.]]> Tue, 13 Aug 2024 19:49:02 GMT some visuals from HEYEX 2 https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1788634 https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1788634 This is how you create the ganglion cell report for the Spectralis.  This eye probably wasn't a good eye to have picked as an example, but you can get the idea of what it's doing.  First step is selecting the report type you want, and selecting that drop down menu that changes it from "thickness map: retina" to "thickness map: ganglion cell"
