TABLE 1.
Criterion | Number | Percent (of 155 Excluded Scans) |
---|---|---|
Inappropriate recognition of optic disc margin | 57 | 36.8 |
Insufficient optic disc scan signal strength | 67 | 43.2 |
Linear OCT scans insufficiently centered over scanned optic disc | 2 | 1.3 |
Other reasons, for example, artifacts interfering with reliable analysis | 12 | 7.7 |
Optic disc cup too small to be recognized by the automated ONH analysis algorithm using a cup offset of 150 μm | 17 | 11.0 |
155 (42.2%) of 367 automated ONH scans were disqualified from inclusion into the normative database.
OCT indicates optical coherence tomography; ONH, optic nerve head.
