Diabetes, SD-OCT, SLO, neurons, nicotine, retinal thickness
This study investigated the influence of nicotine in an experimentally induced diabetic rat model. They used non-invasive high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging to provide quantitative information on the temporal alterations of retinal structures at the micrometer resolution...
OCT Angiography in Retinal and Macular Diseases
OCT angiography (OCT-A) is based on the concept that in a static eye, the only moving structure in the fundus of the eye is blood flowing through the vessels. This book explains how the technique allows a depth-resolved analysis and...Comparison of SS-OCT and SD-OCT in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
