3D rectangular coordinate space illustrating the BMO fit plane, the BMB fit plane and the corresponding BMB- and BMO points derived from OCT B-scans to calculate tilt and ovality index. (A) SALSA-segmented optic disc B-scan demonstrating 2 BMO points (green) and 2 BMB points (red) used to project on the rectangular coordinate space to calculate BMO ovality index, tilt and rotation angle. (B) The green ellipse represents the fit BMO ellipse and the smaller red rectangle represents the fit BMO plane. The larger red rectangle represents the fit BMB plane, calculated from the BMB ellipse (red dots inside the larger red rectangle). The red vector from the center of the fit ellipse represents the normal vector to the fit ellipse and helps to illustrate the tilt. The black point represents the origin of the coordinate system. The two green vectors from the center of the fit ellipse are the semi-major and semi-minor axes used to calculate the BMO ovality index calculated as the minor BMO axis divided by the major BMO axis. Abbreviations: BMB, Bruch’s membrane boundary; BMO, Bruch’s membrane opening; SALSA, San Diego Automated Layer Segmentation Algorithm.
