Thickness differences in 10 retinal layers between 19 patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and a control group of 24 volunteers were investigated. Retinal layers were automatically segmented and their thickness at each scanned point was measured, corrected for tilt and spatially normalized. When the mean thickness of entire layers was compared between patients and controls, only the outer segment layer of patients showed statistically significant thinning. However, when the layers were compared point-by point, patients showed statistically significant thinning in irregular regions of total retina and nerve fiber, ganglion cell, inner plexiform, inner nuclear and outer segment layers. Our method, based on random field theory, provides a precise delimitation of regions where total retina and each of its layers show a statistically significant thinning in AD patients. All layers, except inner nuclear and outer segments, showed thickened regions. New analytic methods have shown that thinned regions are interspersed with thickened ones in all layers, except inner nuclear and outer segments. Across different layers we found a statistically significant trend of the thinned regions to overlap and of the thickened ones to avoid overlapping. eng Atribución 3.0 España Spatial analysis of thickness changes in ten retinal layers of Alzheimer’s disease patients based on optical coherence tomography journal article URL https://docta.ucm.es/bitstreams/40c75949-cfe7-4f51-815e-9fa3759cf870/download File MD5 cb876180084d12a7b3dbefacacef2d16 3681843 application/pdf Salobrar_2019 Scientif Report - Spatial analysis of thickness changes in ten retinal layers of Alzheimer_s disease patients based on optical coherence tomography.pdf URL https://docta.ucm.es/bitstreams/844e5ed4-3dcb-461d-80c6-0ae8f4c80d94/download File MD5 355900ce634a388f77c96799a6cef826 69565 text/plain Salobrar_2019 Scientif Report - Spatial analysis of thickness changes in ten retinal layers of Alzheimer_s disease patients based on optical coherence tomography.pdf.txt
