Abstract Background : To compare the effect of pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) using pattern scanning or conventional laser on subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFChT). Methods : Thirty-eight patients (64 eyes) with advanced diabetic retinopathy (DR) who underwent PRP using pattern scanning or conventional laser were included. Changes in SFChT were compared with baseline values at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after PRP using swept-source optical coherence tomography. Results : The conventional laser group showed statistically significant decrease in SFChT at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after PRP ( P <0.001). SFChT was significantly decreased at 3 ( P = 0.025), 6 ( P = 0.004), and 12 months ( P < 0.001) after treatment in the pattern laser group. Conclusion : Eyes with advanced DR showed a significant reduction in SFChT over 12 months regardless of the type of laser used; however, the reduction was sooner after conventional laser than after pattern laser.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the accuracy of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurement of choroidal thickness in healthy eyes using a deep-learning method with the Mask R-CNN model. Thirty EDI-OCT of thirty patients were enrolled. A mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) model composed of deep residual network (ResNet) and feature pyramid networks (FPNs) with standard convolution and fully connected heads for mask and box prediction, respectively, was used to automatically depict the choroid layer. The average choroidal thickness and subfoveal choroidal thickness were measured. The results of this study showed that ResNet 50 layers deep (R50) model and ResNet 101 layers deep (R101). R101 U R50 (OR model) demonstrated the best accuracy with an average error of 4.85 pixels and 4.86 pixels, respectively. The R101 ∩ R50 (AND model) took the least time with an average execution time of 4.6 s. Mask-RCNN models showed a good prediction rate of choroidal layer with accuracy rates of 90% and 89.9% for average choroidal thickness and average subfoveal choroidal thickness, respectively. In conclusion, the deep-learning method using the Mask-RCNN model provides a faster and accurate measurement of choroidal thickness. Comparing with manual delineation, it provides better effectiveness, which is feasible for clinical application and larger scale of research on choroid.
