Representative laser speckle flowgraphy map images showing choroidal blood flow symmetry and asymmetry patterns. Representative LSFG color-coded blood flow composite maps from 20 eyes are shown. Based on spatial configuration of the choroidal perfusion zone surrounding the optic nerve head, eyes were categorized into Asymmetry group (left panel, n = 10) or the Symmetry group (right panel, n = 10). The ocular perfusion pressure is shown in the lower right corner of each panel. Blue areas correspond to regions with reduced mean blur rate, indicating lower choroidal blood flow. The Symmetry group exhibited a broader extent of low-perfusion areas despite comparable OPP values between the two groups.

Techniques Used:

Analysis of the choroidal hypoperfusion zone (CHZ) and optic nerve head (ONH) using the LSFG analyzer. ( A ) The margin of the CHZ (inner boundary), outside the CHZ (outer boundary) are manually delineated using spline-based regions of interest (“rubber bands”). The ONH margin was identified using a spline and elliptical boundary in a laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) analyzer. ( B ) LSFG analyzer can provide the minimum, average, and maximum mean blur rate (MBR) from the defined regions over an averaged cardiac cycle. ( C ) The beat strength (BS) is calculated based on the change of MBR over the measurement time and is proportional to the amplitude between the maximum and minimum MBR, reflecting blood flow. This figure shows four heat beats of a 90-year-old man (Red color) and a 40-year-old man (blue color). While both participants had the same average MBR value of 10.8, BS was higher in a 90-year-old male (16.6) than in a 40-year-old male (8.5). ( D ) An example of the Asymmetry type, where the CHZ is located solely on the temporal side of the ONH. ( E ) An example of the symmetry type, where the CHZ encompasses the entire ONH. ( F ) The analyzer automatically distinguishes between ONH vessels (MV) depicted as white pixels and tissue (MT) depicted as black pixels and can analyze MT in four quadrants.
