INTRODUCTION• GDX measures thickness of RNFL based on birefringent property
of the tissue.• GDX is: - Simple to use and easy for both the patient and operator. - Near Infra-red wavelength(780 nm). - Measurement time is 0.7 seconds. - Total chair time less than 3 minutes for both eyes. - Undilated pupils work best. - Painless & safe procedure.

• The GDx :
- Maps the RNFL and compares them to a database of healthy,glaucoma-free patients.
- Analyses the RNFL thickness around the optic disc.
• Sensitivity of 89% and a Specificity of 98%.

Why RNFL Assessment??• RNFL defects - earliest sign of glaucoma.
• 88% of ocular hypertensives who converted to glaucoma had RNFL defects along with VF defects. 60%of these converters had RNFL defects 6 years prior to VF defects (Sommer et al).
• RNFL changes are detected more frequently than ONH changes in eyes converted from ocular hypertension to glaucoma (Quigley et al).
• RNFL damage occurs earlier than VF defects and ONH damage.

PRINCIPLE - Scanning Laser Polarimetry• Scanning laser polarimetry is an imaging technology that is utilized to measure
peripapillary RNFL thickness.
• Based on the Principle of Birefringence.
• Main birefringent intraocular tissues are the cornea, lens and the retina.
• In the retina, the parallel arrangement of the microtubules in retinal ganglion cell axons causes a change in the polarization of light passing through them.
• The change in the polarization of light is called Retardation.
• The retardation value is proportionate to the thickness of the RNFL
![Page 6: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
RNFL - highly ordered parallel axon bundles
Axons - microtubules, cylindrical intracellular organelles with diameters smaller than the wavelength of light.
Highly ordered structure of microtubules are the source of RNFL birefringence

Birefringence: Splitting of a light wave by a polar material into two
components
![Page 8: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
These components travel at different velocities which creates a relative phase shift

Retardation
1
Amount of phase shift is ≃ RNFL thickness
![Page 9: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Polarized light passes through the eye and is reflected off the retina. Because the RNFL is a birefringent, the two
components of the polarized light are phase shifted relative to each other (retarded). The amount of retardation is captured by a detector, and converted into thickness
(microns).
![Page 10: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Scanning Laser Polarimetry• Amount of retardation is captured by a detector and
converted into thickness (microns)
• Raster scan - 40° horizontally and 20° vertically and includes both peripapillary region and macular region
![Page 11: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Anterior segment birefringence - cornea and lens.
• The total retardation is the sum of the cornea, lens and the retina.
• Compensation of anterior segment birefringence is needed to isolate RNFL birefringence.
• GDx VCC(variable corneal compensation) measures and individually compensates for each eye.
![Page 12: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• VCC stands for variable corneal compensator, which was created to account for the variable corneal birefringence in patients
• Uses the birefringence of Henle’s layer in the macula as a control for measurement of corneal birefringence

Patients information• Patient data and quality score:
- Patient’s name- Date of birth- Gender- Ethnicity - An ideal quality score is from 7 to 10
![Page 17: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FUNDUS IMAGE• The fundus image is useful to check for
image quality:• Every image has a Q Score representing
the overall quality of the scan• The Q ranges from 1-10, with values 8-10
representing acceptable quality.• This score is based on a number of factors
including : -Well focused, - Evenly illuminated, - Optic disc is well centered, - Ellipse is properly placed around the ONH.
![Page 18: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The operator centers ellipse over the ONH
![Page 19: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• The fixed sized default calculation circle is a centred on ONH.
• Inner diameter of the band is 2.4mm, outer diameter of the band is 3.2mm & the band is 0.4mm wide.
• The calculation circle is the area found between the two concentric circles, which measure the temporal-superiornasal-inferior-temporal (TSNIT) and nerve fiber indicator (NFI) parameters
• By Resizing The Calculation Circle And Ellipse, the Operator is able To Measure Beyond A Large Peripapillary Atrophy Area
![Page 20: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
RNFL Thickness Map• The thickness map shows the RNFL thickness
in a color-coded format from blue to red.
• Hot colors like red and yellow mean high retardation or thicker RNFL
• Cool colors like blue and green mean low retardation / thinner RNFL
![Page 21: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Healthy RNFL Glaucomatous RNFL
• A healthy eye has yellow and red colors in the superior and inferior regions representing thick RNFL regions and blue and green areas nasally and temporally representing thinner RNFL areas.
• In glaucoma, RNFL loss will result in a more uniform blue appearance
![Page 22: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Deviation Maps• Reveals the location & magnitude of RNFL defects over the entire thickness map
• RNFL thickness of patient is compared to the age-matched normative database
• Each square represents a “Super Pixel”• RNFL thickness at each super pixel is
compared to age matched normative database
• Super pixel that fall below normal range is flagged by color squares based on probability of normality
![Page 23: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Dark blue squares RNFL thickness is below the 5th percentile of the normative database• Light blue squares deviation below the 2% level• Yellow deviation below 1%• Red deviation below 0.5%.
![Page 24: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

TSNIT Map • Displays the RNFL thickness values along the calculation circle
• In a normal eye the TSNIT plot follows the typical ‘Double Hump’ pattern, with thick RNFL measures superiorly and inferiorly and thin RNFL values nasally and temporally
• In a healthy eye, the TSNIT curve will fall within the shaded area which represents the 95% normal range for that age
• When there is RNFL loss, the TSNIT curve will fall below this shaded area, especially in the superior and inferior regions
![Page 26: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• In the center of the printout at the bottom, the TSNIT graphs for both eyes are displayed together.• Healthy eye there is good symmetry
between the TSNIT graphs of the two eyes and the two curves will overlap• In glaucoma, one eye often has more
advanced RNFL loss and therefore the two curves will have less overlap
![Page 27: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Parameters Table• The TSNIT parameters are summary measures based on RNFL thickness values within the calculation circle• Normal parameter values are
displayed in green• Abnormal values are color-coded
based on their probability of normality.colours are similar to deviation maps.

• TSNIT SD : Captures the amount of modulation (peak to trough difference) in TSNIT graph.
In normal eye there is high modulation.
In glaucoma eye there is RNFL loss in Sup & Inf region which results in low modulation & a low TSNIT SD value.

• Inter-eye Symmetry Values nearing 1 – Good SymmetryValues nearing 0 – Poor Symmetry
![Page 31: G Dx - Dr Shylesh B Dabke](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/58f9b1301a28abe7318b45a5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Nerve Fiber Indicator (NFI) • Global measure based on the entire RNFL thickness map• Calculated using an advanced form of neural network,
called a Support Vector Machine (SVM)• Not colour coded• Output values range from 1 –100
– 1-30 -> low likelihood of glaucoma– 31-50 -> glaucoma suspect– 51+ -> high likelihood of glaucoma
Clinical research has shown that the NFI is the best parameter for
discriminating normal from glaucoma

CONCLUSIONS• The ability to detect early glaucomatous structural changes has
great potential value in delaying and avoiding progression of the disease
• Should not be regarded as replacing the skilled ophthalmologist’s capacity to evaluate all aspects of the patient’s diagnosis.
• But they can definitely aid in the complicated decision-making process
