Application of diffusion tensor imaging technology in glaucoma diagnosis

Glaucoma is the first major category of irreversible blinding eye illnesses worldwide. Its leading cause is the death of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, which results in the loss of vision. Research indicates that glaucoma affects the optic nerve and the whole visual pathway. It also reveals...

description Glaucoma is the first major category of irreversible blinding eye illnesses worldwide. Its leading cause is the death of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, which results in the loss of vision. Research indicates that glaucoma affects the optic nerve and the whole visual pathway. It also reveals that degenerative lesions caused by glaucoma can be found outside the visual pathway. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that can investigate the complete visual system, including alterations in the optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, lateral geniculate nuclear, and optic radiation. In order to provide a more solid foundation for the degenerative characteristics of glaucoma, this paper will discuss the standard diagnostic techniques for glaucoma through a review of the literature, describe the use of DTI technology in glaucoma in humans and animal models, and introduce these techniques. With the advancement of DTI technology and its coupling with artificial intelligence, DTI represents a potential future for MRI technology in glaucoma research.
