abstract = {For the study of disease mechanisms and the development of
novel therapeutic strategies for retinal pathologies in
human, rodent models play an important role. Nowadays,
optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows three-dimensional
investigation of retinal events over time. However, a
detailed analysis of how different retinal degenerations are
reflected in OCT images is still lacking in the biomedical
field. Therefore, we use OCT to visualize retinal
degeneration in specific mouse models in order to study
disease progression in vivo and improve image interpretation
of this noninvasive modality. We use a self-developed
spectral domain OCT system for simultaneous dual-band
imaging in the 0.8 μm- and 1.3 μm-wavelength range – the
two most common spectral bands in biomedical OCT. A
fiber-coupled ophthalmic scanning unit allows flexible
imaging of the eye with a high axial resolution of 3 - 4 μm
in tissue. Four different mouse models consisting of one
genetic (rhodopsin-deficient and three induced retinal
degenerations (sodium iodate-induced damage, light-induced
photoreceptor damage and Kainate neurotoxin damage) were
investigated. OCT imaging was performed daily or weekly,
depending on the specific degeneration model, over a time
period of up to 9 weeks. Individual retinal layers that were
affected by the specific degeneration could successfully be
identified and monitored over the observation time period.
Therefore, longitudinal OCT studies deliver reliable
information about the retinal microstructure and the time
course of retinal degeneration processes in vivo.},
