Abstract:
Quantitative and objective evaluation of the severity of Parkinson disease(PD)with new tools has been a focus of neuroscience research.Optical coherence tomography(OCT)is a new optical imaging technique characterized by non-invasiveness,non-contact,high resolution,no radiation and no damage to living tissues.OCT can be used to detect changes of the optic disc and the retinal nerve fiber layer in PD.OCT provides a new approach to objective assessment of the severity of PD.
