“…Elevated birefringence is observed in parts of the neovascular lesion as well as in the sclera, where alternating layers of higher and lower birefringence are observed which would not be discernible in cumulative retardation images. Several other diseases that affect the macula have been successfully studied by PS-OCT like diabetic retinopathy [129], central serous chorioretinopathy [130], telangiectasia [131], or hereditary diseases like albinism [132] and Stargardt's disease [133]. Moreover, related studies in animal models have been performed [116,134,135].…”

Abstract:Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now a well-established modality for highresolution cross-sectional and three-dimensional imaging of transparent and translucent samples and tissues. Conventional, intensity based OCT, however, does not provide a tissuespecific contrast, causing an ambiguity with image interpretation in several cases. Polarization sensitive (PS) OCT draws advantage from the fact that several materials and tissues can change the light's polarization state, adding an additional contrast channel and providing quantitative information. In this paper, we review basic and advanced methods of PS-OCT and demonstrate its use in selected biomedical applications. Drexler, and J. G. Fujimoto, eds. (Springer, Cham, 2015), pp. 1137-1162. 6.

“…23,24 Detailed imaging of the RPE, in healthy eyes, AMD, and idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasia has been described in previous studies from our group. [25][26][27] Since the RPE plays a major role in the pathophysiology of STGD and other ABCA4-associated retinal dystrophies, a closer evaluation of RPE-specific changes based on imaging with PS-OCT may be of significant clinical value.…”

“…This feature can be exploited in order to segment the RPE layer. [19][20][21][22][23][24] Purpose of this study was to evaluate the RPE for subclinical changes in eyes with CSC with episodes of neurosensory retinal detachment using PS-OCT as a novel imaging technique and to compare findings to current imaging standards.…”
