Altris AI Launches Advanced Optic Disc Analysis for Glaucoma Detection

Altris AI has introduced its Advanced Optic Disc (OD) Analysis module to enhance glaucoma detection and assessment. This new tool builds on the company’s existing Ganglion Cell Complex (GCC) Asymmetry Analysis, providing a comprehensive and precise evaluation of glaucomatous damage.

Advancing Glaucoma Detection with AI-Powered Optic Disc Analysis

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, making early detection and precise monitoring essential for effective treatment. Altris AI initially tackled this challenge with its GCC Asymmetry Analysis, an AI-powered tool designed to detect early glaucoma risk. Now, the company is expanding its capabilities with the launch of the Advanced Optic Disc Analysis module, which is considered the gold standard for structural glaucoma diagnosis.

This new module enhances glaucoma assessment by:

       • Providing a detailed structural evaluation of the optic disc.

       • Offering a personalized analysis that adjusts for individual optic disc size and rim absence angle.

       • Eliminating reliance on normative databases, ensuring patient-specific evaluations.

Key Features of Altris AI’s Optic Disc Analysis Module

The Advanced Optic Disc Analysis utilizes OCT imaging to assess multiple optic disc parameters, offering an objective and standardized evaluation of glaucomatous changes.

Evaluated Parameters Include:

       • Disc area

       • Cup area

       • Cup volume

       • Minimal cup depth

       • Maximum cup depth

       • Cup-to-disc area ratio

       • Rim absence angle

       • Disc Damage Likelihood Scale (DDLS)

In addition, the platform provides a severity score for optic disc damage, ranked on a scale from 1 to 10, to aid in clinical decision-making.

Compatibility with Multiple OCT Protocols

The Altris AI Glaucoma Module is compatible with various OCT scan protocols, including:

       • 3D OCT optic disc scans

       • 3D OCT horizontal wide scans

       • 3D OCT vertical-wide scans

       • OCT optic disc raster scans

This cross-evaluation capability allows eye care practitioners (ECPs) to analyze macula and optic disc pathology even when using different OCT systems, improving diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency.

Optimizing Glaucoma Care with AI-Powered Precision

By combining GCC Asymmetry Analysis with Advanced Optic Disc Analysis, Altris AI empowers ECPs with a more complete picture of glaucoma progression. This streamlined approach enables:

       • Faster and more accurate evaluations.

       • More effective treatment planning.

       • Reduced false-positive referrals.

“The launch of our Advanced Optic Disc Analysis module marks a pivotal step forward in glaucoma care. By combining the gold standard of optic disc evaluation with AI-powered precision, we’re equipping eye care professionals with the tools to make more accurate and timely diagnoses of this vision-threatening disorder,” said Maria Znamenska, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Altris AI.

“This innovation not only reduces false positive referrals but also enhances early detection and treatment planning—ensuring better outcomes for patients and optimizing healthcare resources. Together with GCC Asymmetry Analysis, our platform elevates the standard of glaucoma care, offering hope to millions at risk of vision loss.”

With AI-driven advancements like this, Altris AI continues to push the boundaries of innovation in ophthalmology, helping eye care specialists improve patient outcomes and prevent glaucoma-related blindness.
