Scanning laser tomography Z profile signal width as an objective index of macular retinal thickening

Abstract

The evidence of this study, based upon three selected patients with macular retinal thickening and 14 normal subjects, would suggest that Z profile signal width analysis offers a non-invasive, objective, topographic, and reproducible index of macular retinal thickening. Studies employing larger sample sizes are required to determine the true clinical worth of the technique.
