This has been a very interesting discussion, one I am sure that would garner
much interest at the 2012 OPS Annual Program.
Would be great if one of the participants could write this up in abstract
format and submit to the Scientific Paper Session in Chicago.
If you're "on the fence" write up a rough draft, send it to me. I will forward
it to the Scientific Session Committee and we can help mentor you through the
process.
Use the link below for direct access to submit the abstract to the OPS website
or email me your "draft" and a member of the committee will contact you.

well, you can use the caliper function it won't give you the thickness
alongside the scan but you can set it multiple times.
beside I am not sure there is a mean value for choroidal thickness (?) I know
that it varies depending on the location and patient age (?)
and in myopic patients

There is no automated way to measure the choroid on the Spectralis. We delete
the automatic lines, and re-map BM and the anterior sclera - a time consuming
process, but it works.
Depending on what exactly you are looking for, you may be able to get away with
re-mapping only one individual scan out of a series.
