Abstract  The Retinal Function Imager (RFI; Optical Imaging, Rehovot, Israel) is a unique, noninvasive multiparameter functional imaging instrument that directly measures hemodynamic parameters such as retinal blood-flow velocity, oximetric state, and metabolic responses to photic activation. In addition, it allows capillary perfusion mapping without any contrast agent. These parameters of retinal function are degraded by retinal abnormalities. This review delineates the development of these parameters and demonstrates their clinical applicability for noninvasive detection of retinal function in several modal...

Abstract  This paper reviews recent developments in high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its application to image anatomy, physiology, and function in the retina of animals. It describes technical issues and solutions in performing retinal MRI, anatomical MRI, blood oxygenation level-dependent functional MRI (fMRI), and blood-flow MRI both of normal retinas and of retinal degeneration. MRI offers unique advantages over existing retinal imaging techniques, including the ability to image multiple layers without depth limitation and to provide multiple clinically relevant data in a single setting...

Abstract  Fast intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) correlated with stimulus-activated retinal responses are reviewed. Fast IOSs have a time course comparable to the stimulus-evoked electrophysiological kinetics of the retina, and thus promise a new methodology for high-resolution evaluation of the physiological health of the retina. However, practical application of fast IOSs for retinal study and diagnosis is challenging because of their low sensitivity and limited specificity. Using isolated amphibian retinas, a series of experiments to optimize and characterize fast IOSs has been conducted. Fast, high-resolut...

Abstract  Diffuse flash stimuli applied to the ocular fundus evoke light reflectance decreases of the fundus illuminated with infrared observation light. This phenomenon, which is independent of the photopigment bleaching observed as an increase in the reflectance of visible light, is called intrinsic signals. Intrinsic signals, in general, are stimulus-evoked light reflectance changes of neural tissues due to metabolic changes, and they have been extensively investigated in the cerebral cortex. This noninvasive objective technique of functional imaging has good potential as a tool for the early detection of ...

Conclusions  The clinical features of SBS in Japan are comparable to those in the Western literature. However, we have also found some idiosyncratic features in Japanese SBS cases; the mother is more frequently the perpetrator and abusive parents are older than in the United States, possibly reflecting current trends in Japan toward later marriage.

Noninvasive functional imaging of the retina reveals outer retinal and hemodynamic intrinsic optical signal originsemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Abstract  We have adapted intrinsic signal optical imaging of neural activity to the noninvasive functional imaging of the retina. Results to date demonstrate the feasibility and potential of this new method of functional assessment of the retina. In response to visual stimuli, we have imaged reflectance changes in the retina that are robust and spatially colocalized to the sites of stimulation. However, the technique is in its infancy and many questions as to the underlying mechanisms remain. In particular, the source and nature of the activity-dependent intrinsic optical signals in the retina need to be cha...

Conclusion  An orbital venous anomaly presenting with sudden orbital hemorrhage can be mistaken for other orbital tumors. In patients with acute orbital process, orbital MRI for detecting hemorrhage and a follow-up CT scan after resolution of the hemorrhage are needed to prevent unnecessary surgical intervention.
