Table 1.

Total area of drusen (in mm2) within a 3.11mm2 macular study area is reported for each imaging modality for all 12 subjects. To aid the reader, the area of drusen expressed as a percentage of the study area is reported for one set of results (Column 1, SD OCT 2D Interpolation). For the SD OCT drusen map, drusen markings on a series of 100 B-scans across the macula were projected onto an SVP retinal image with interpolation of spaces between sequential scans to produce a map of drusen marking by SD OCT (see Figures 1, 2). The automated CFP map utilized a drusen detection algorithm to identify drusen on an enhanced, background-leveled CFP image (see Figure 3). Additionally, three retinal specialists independently graded CFPs for drusen. The composite CFP map includes all areas marked as drusen by at least 2 of 3 graders (see Figure 2).
