This article presents for the first time the potential of 830-nm spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in the evaluation of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. SD-OCT is an imaging technique that can be used for in vivo cross-sectional corneal visualization. The important features of SD-OCT instruments include improved sensitivity and short acquisition time, which improves the quality of the tomograms compared with conventional time domain OCT. Tomograms of the corneas of three patients in different stages of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy are presented. The authors conclude that 830-nm SD-OCT provides clinically valuable cross-sectional assessment of pathomorphological changes in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy in vivo.
本文首次展示了830纳米光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)在评估富克斯内皮营养不良方面的潜力。SD-OCT是一种可用于体内角膜横断面可视化的成像技术。SD-OCT仪器的重要特性包括更高的灵敏度和更短的采集时间,与传统时域OCT相比,这提高了断层扫描图像的质量。文中展示了三名处于不同阶段富克斯内皮营养不良患者角膜的断层扫描图像。作者得出结论,830纳米SD-OCT可在体内对富克斯内皮营养不良的病理形态学变化提供具有临床价值的横断面评估。
