PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare en face and 3-dimensional (3-D) properties of hypertransmission defects (HTDs) between different optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices using OCT volumes and reconstructed en face images.

SETTINGS: Comparative diagnostic evaluation study.

METHODS: Thirty eyes with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that underwent dense OCT macular volume scans with both the Spectralis (97 B-scans/volume; 2910 B-scans in total) and Cirrus OCT (128 B-scans/volume; 3840 B-scans in total) from the Amish Eye Study cohort were included in this analysis. HTD regions were labeled on each B-scan and reconstructed into en face and 3-D volume images. Properties of HTD volume were compared between the 2 devices.

RESULTS: The qualitative score of en face images for HTD was higher for the Cirrus compared to the Spectralis (P < .01). The quality of Spectralis en face images improved after preprocessing and reconstruction. The 2-D HTD area on en face obtained from 2-D projections of 3-D volume did not differ between devices (P = .478, ICC = 0.998; Jaccard index 0.721 ± 0.086). There was no difference in the number, volume, PALs, and surface areas of HTDs between devices in the volumetric analysis (all P ≥ .090). The signal intensity of HTD normalized by the mean choroidal signal intensity did not differ between devices (P = .861).

CONCLUSIONS: The visualization of HTD on en face images from Spectralis OCT could be enhanced through image processing. The equivalence in 3-D HTD parameters between the 2 devices suggests interchangeability for assessing these lesions in AMD.
