Entoptic visualization of the retinal vasculature near fixation.
The authors review (1) the range of techniques used to study the retinal vasculature near the fovea, (2) describe the need and rationale for noninvasive in vivo monitoring of the retinal vasculature, (3) present theoretic and practical considerations which show that entoptic visualization of the smallest capillaries near the fovea is optimized by a small short-wavelength source (1 mm or less) r...
متن کاملToward clinical application of manganese-enhanced MRI of retinal function.
PURPOSE The application of manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) to measure retinal function in humans is unclear. To begin to address this gap, we tested the hypothesis that an FDA-approved manganese-based MRI contrast agent, Teslascan, is useful for measuring functional intraretinal ionic regulation. METHODS Anesthetized dark- or light-adapted male healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were infused for 30 m...
متن کاملRetinal vasculature enhancement using independent component analysis
Retinal vasculature is a network of vessels in the retinal layer. In ophthalmology, information of retinal vasculature in analyzing fundus images is important for early detection of diseases related to the retina, e.g. diabetic retinopathy. However, in fundus images the contrast between retinal vasculature and the background is very low. As a result, analyzing or visualizing tiny retinal vascul...
متن کاملMorphometry of retinal vasculature in Antarctic fishes is dependent upon the level of hemoglobin in circulation.
We quantitatively assessed ocular vascular patterns of six Antarctic notothenioid fishes that vary in their expression of the circulating oxygen-binding protein, hemoglobin (Hb). Digital image analyses revealed marked differences in vessel morphometries among notothenioid species. Hemoglobinless (-Hb) icefishes display mean vessel length densities that are greater (Chaenocephalus aceratus, 5.51...
متن کاملClinical Approaches of Retinal Diseases in Pregnancy
Pregnancy leads to significant changes in the body, which potentially affect the retina. Pregnancy can induce disease such as that seen in hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy. It can cause exudative retinal detachments in the HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), ...
