Titel | Diagnostic challenges in neuro-ophthalmology. The Latest in Optical Coherence Tomography. |
Abstract Nr. | 3022 |
Doel | OCT is the most revolutionary technology in neuro-ophthalmology, helping us to solve difficult clinical diagnoses. |
Methodes | Peculiar relevant clinical cases. |
Resultaten | The ophthalmologists are now able with the advent of capabilities for computerized segmentation of the ganglion cell layers (neurons, "retinal gray matter") in addition to retinal nerve fiber layer (RFNL;axons) to examine the eye like the neuro-radiologist does with brain MRI. |
Conclusie | OCT has a bright future : diagnostic tool, prognosis indicator of recovery after optic neuropathy, brain atrophy indicator, testing for remyelinating neuropathy agents, fluorescence labeling in dementia and potentially MS, Polarization-Sensitive OCT with changes to the axonal cytoskeleton preceding axonal loss in diseases like MS...... |
