Abstract
Advances in Diagnostic Imaging Technologies to Evaluate the Retina and the Optic Disc.
Highlights
Three papers regarding the role of the ganglion cell complex in different disorders, multiple sclerosis, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma, demonstrated that the same tool could be used with different approaches depending on the disease: “Comparative Diagnostic Accuracy of Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measures by Cirrus and Spectralis Optical Coherence Tomography in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis” by J
Mavilio et al found that reduction of the ganglion cell complex was related to reduced amplitude and increased variability of the phase of the BioMed Research International steady-state pattern electroretinogram in glaucoma
Perdicchi et al demonstrated that the loading phase for ranibizumab in aged-related macular degeneration had no toxic effects on the ganglion cell complex
Summary
Editorial Advances in Diagnostic Imaging Technologies to Evaluate the Retina and the Optic Disc New devices and tools for evaluating the retina and optic nerve head, such as scanning laser polarimetry and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), are widely used in clinical practice.
