Second harmonic generation imaging showed the morphologic changes in stromal collagen after CXL treatment. The linear collagen fibers in normal corneal stroma became wavy after treatment. With the introduction of 2D-FFT analysis, the morphologic changes can be quantified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
