While the neovascular form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) attracts much of the spotlight, the non-neovascular, or dry form of AMD also requires monitoring as a chronic disease.
The Advanced RPE Analysis, available on ZEISS Cirrus optical coherence tomography (OCT), was specifically created to manage non-neovascular AMD in all its forms.
The Advanced RPE Analysis is not a scan protocol, but a combination of two algorithms that can be applied to any macular cube scan to measure retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) elevations for mapping drusen and sub-RPE slab illumination. This enables detection of areas of geographic atrophy (GA) and their proximity to the fovea; progression; or encroachment onto the fovea. Either algorithm can be applied to any macular cube scan, past or present, and then exported as its own unique report.
As the Advanced RPE Analysis requires no additional scan captures, it can be retrospectively applied to any macular cube scan that has been captured on your ZEISS Cirrus OCT.
