The application of optical coherence tomography in central nervous system diseases

Abstract

Central nervous system diseases are complicated, and general examinations are lack of accuracy because they are easily influenced by subjective factors of patients. Objective results from optical coherence tomography (OCT) can detect the changes of ocular posterior structures, and then further reflect the neuronal degeneration. The aim of this review is to discuss the application of OCT in central nervous system diseases and look for new biomarkers. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2017.05.013
