azM comparison video-oculography and electro-nystagmography using the search coil technique as a golden standard Department of ORL-HNS Maastricht University Medical Centre The Netherlands
EOG versus VOG • which eye movement recording technique • is optimal for the clinical setting ? • - clinical relevant eye movement types: • spontaneous, fixation, pursuit, saccades, nystagmus • requirements: • easy and comfortable application • accuracy, precision, spatial resolution (Δ°), time resolution (Δt)
electro-oculography /electro-nystagmography 50 Hz, drift, eye-blink + EMG artifacts, 2D, EO+EC
video-oculography (VOG) / video-nystagmography (VNG) 50 Hz, 3D but limited range, only EO
search coil technique (SCT): golden standard in clinic not accepted, 1000 Hz, 3D, EO + EC
EOG versus VOG • which eye movement recording technique • is optimal for the clinical setting ? • - clinical relevant eye movement types: • spontaneous, fixation, pursuit, saccades, nystagmus • requirements: • easy and comfortable application • accuracy, precision, spatial resolution (Δ°), time resolution (Δt)
EOG versus VOG • which eye movement recording technique • is optimal for the clinical setting ? • method: • - simultaneous recording of eye movements with EOG, VOG and SCT • exclusion of interference between the techniques • 6 healthy subjects • comparison of accuracy / drift / artefacts • comparison of time resolution

EOG versus VOG • are EOG and VOG appropriate to detect • saccade latencies and peak velocities (time resolution) ? • method: • - simultaneous recording of eye movements with EOG, VOG and SCT • exclusion of interference between the techniques • 6 healthy subjects • comparison of accuracy / drift / artefacts • comparison of time resolution: • * analysis of frequency compound of eye movements (SCT) • in relation to the limited frequency range • of EOG (noise) and VOG (25-50 Hz sample frequency) • * development of special signal analysis techniques for VOG
frequency content saccades noise eog sct eog: high frequency noise bandwidth can be limited from 0 to about 25 Hz sample frequency of 50 Hz sufficient
0 50 ms • VOG • which eye movement recording technique • is optimal for the clinical setting ? • are EOG and is VOG appropriate to detect saccade peak velocities • problem with VOG: 50 Hz ~ 20 ms • saccade lasts only 50 ms: 2 data points • not enough to reconstruct peak velocity ? • literature: you need minimum 300 Hz • Nyquist signal reconstruction technique used • to calculate eye velocities (IEEE, 2007 )

is EOG appropriate to detect saccade peak velocities and latencies ? OS OD ODS OS OD leftwards rightwards - asymmetry EOG in case of monocular detection: artifact - binocular detection (100 Hz LPF, 1000 Hz SF): good estimates of latencies and peak velocities NB: peak velocities EOG even higher than peak velocities SCT ! artifact?
peak velocities of both EOG and VOG are higher than peak velocities SCT ! comparison data SCT+VOG+EOG versus VOG+EOG: - eye velocities detected with EOG and VOG are slower with COIL on the eye than without COIL on the eye - search coil slows down eye velocities
visual check of VOG images of the eye with search coil: search coil slips over the eye
SCT • no perfect golden standard (coil slips and slows down the eye) • - VOG • optimal for BPPV • OD and OS saccades can be analysed with a 50 Hz system • but field of view and range are limited • - often detection fails (> 20% !) and 3D is often unreliable • EOG • robust clinical method for binocular recordings • eo / ec, unlimited field of view, large range of detection H+V • only binocular saccades can be analysed reliable • but drift and noise can hamper a good detection (training)
azM • EOG versus VOG • which technique • is optimal for the clinical setting ? • EOG is the first choice to deal with all patients • VOG is very useful for BPPV and complex patients
