OBJECTIVE To report normative data for retinal thickness in wild-type C57BL/6 mouse utilizing a miniature SD-OCT system. METHODS THIRTY ADULT MICE (RANGE: 3-5 months) were anesthetized and secured into the Bioptigen Spectral Domain Ophthalmic Imaging System. Right eye SD-OCT images were standardized by centralizing the optic nerve head (ONH) prior to image acquisition. Global and quadrant tot...

Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography can be used to measure the birefringence of biological tissue such as the human retina. Previous measurements with a time-domain polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography system revealed that the birefringence of the human retinal nerve fiber layer is not constant, but varies as a function of location around the optic nerve head. Her...

PURPOSE To compare retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT) and nerve fiber analyzer (GDx). METHODS Twenty eyes of 20 consecutive healthy subjects were recruited for this study. Each subject had a normal visual field and a normal optic nerve head, which was assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy using a 90 degrees lens. Using the HRT and GDx, RNFL ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent disease caused by the inflammatory demyelinating process that causes progressive nervous system degeneration over the time. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging technology, which can measure the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer as well as the diameter of the macula. The purpose of the study is evaluation OCT fin...
