Characterisation of Schlemm's canal cross-sectional area [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014
To compare three methods of Schlemm's canal (SC) cross-sectional area (CSA) measurement.Ten eyes (10 healthy volunteers) were imaged three times using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Cirrus HD-OCT, Zeiss, Dublin, California, USA). Aqueous outflow vascular structures and SC collector channel ostia were used as landmarks to identify a ...
