Fourier Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography and Scanning Laser Polarimetry Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Measurements in the Diagnosis of Glaucoma

Abstract

For both devices, the LDF based on the output from a Fourier analysis of RNFL data resulted in better diagnostic capability compared with other common RNFL analytical procedures. That this technique improves RNFL analysis is also supported by the better correlations between visual field measures and the Fourier-based LDF measures.
