In this review we evaluated technical details and sensetivity of the HRT machine in diagnosis and progression of glaucoma patients.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve characterized by a specific pattern of progressive injury to retinal ganglion cells and their axons, which results in alteration of optic disc topography, commonly known as “cupping,” and associated visual field loss.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT) is a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope specifically designed to acquire three-dimensional images of the optic nerve head and posterior pole.

Abstract

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve characterized by a specific pattern of progressive injury to retinal ganglion cells and their axons, which results in alteration of optic disc topography, commonly known as “cupping,” and associated visual field loss. The Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT) is a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope specifically designed to acquire three-dimensional images of the optic nerve head and posterior pole. In this review we evaluated technical details and sensetivity of the HRT machine in diagnosis and progression of glaucoma patients.

Özet

Glokom sonuçta optik disk yapısında “çukurlaşma” ile beraber görme alanı kayıplarına yol açan retina gangliyon hücreleri ve bunların aksonlarında ilerleyici atrofiye neden olan bir optik sinir hastalığıdır. Heidelberg retinal tomografi (HRT) optik sinir başı ve arka kutbun üç boyutlu olarak incelenmesini sağlayan bir konfokal tarayıcı laser oftalmoskoptur. Bu derlemede, HRT aletinin teknik detayları ile beraber; glokom hastalarının tanı ve takibindeki duyarlılığı değerlendirilmiştir.
