Exploring the Lamina Cribrosa Using Enhanced Depth Imaging SD-OCT

While spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) imaging of the human optic nerve head is useful in assessing the lamina cribrosa, the posterior segment of the lamina cribrosa is often indiscernible. In this video, the authors describe enhanced depth imaging SD-OCT, which enables the clear visualization of the full-thickness lamina. They also introduce a new imaging algorithm that allows 3D in situ evaluation of the lamina cribrosa.
