Structural and functional MRI reveals multiple retinal layers.
MRI is a noninvasive diagnostic modality that reveals anatomy, physiology, and function in vivo without depth limitation or optical interference. MRI application to the retina, however, remains challenging. We improved spatial resolution to resolve layer-specific structure and functional responses in the retina and confirmed the laminar resolution in an established animal model of retinal degen...
متن کاملComparison of retinal and cerebral blood flow between continuous arterial spin labeling MRI and fluorescent microsphere techniques.
PURPOSE To compare basal retinal and cerebral blood flow (BF) values using continuous arterial spin labeling (CASL) MRI and fluorescent microspheres. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 41 animals were used. BF was measured using an established microsphere technique (a mixture of 2.5 million 8 μm green and 0.5 million 10 μm blue fluorescent microspheres) and CASL MRI blood flow measurement in th...
متن کاملLayer-specific anatomical, physiological and functional MRI of the retina.
Most retinal imaging has been performed using optical techniques. This paper reviews alternative retinal imaging methods based on MRI performed with spatial resolution sufficient to resolve multiple well-defined retinal layers. The development of these MRI technologies to study retinal anatomy, physiology (blood flow, blood volume, and oxygenation) and function, and their applications to the st...
متن کاملLayer-Specific Blood Flow MRI of the Mouse Retina
INTRODUCTION The retina is nourished by two separate blood supplies, the retinal and choroidal vessels. The retinal vessels are located in the inner retina closest to the vitreous. The choroidal vessels are located outside the outer retina, sandwiched between the retinal pigment epithelium and the sclera. The photoreceptor layer in between the two vascular layers does not contain any vessels (7...
متن کاملLayer-Specific Blood-Flow and BOLD fMRI of the Mouse Retina Associated with Hypoxic Challenge
INTRODUCTION: The retina is nourished by two separate vasculatures: the retinal and choroidal vessels. The retinal vessels are localized within the inner retina next to the vitreous, and the choroidal vessels are behind the retinal pigment epithelium. The photoreceptors and segments between these two vascular layers are avascular (1). Oxygen tension in the photoreceptor layers is in fact near 0...
