Скачать или смотреть Texture Scan Of Retina Might Reveal Silent Vision Loss Among Diabetics

Early changes in the texture of the retina appear to be related to the onset of diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina.

The researchers used optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans to evaluate the retinas of healthy lab rats and those with type 2 diabetes.

The results showed that the retinas of diabetic rats underwent significant and specific changes in texture, even before any inflammation or blood vessel leaking was detected.

These findings suggest that analyzing the texture of the retina in OCT scans could help identify high-risk patients for diabetic retinopathy before permanent vision damage occurs, allowing for earlier treatment and better outcomes.

Further study is needed to validate these findings in humans, but the research paves the way for developing AI-assisted tools to detect impending diabetic retinopathy based on retinal texture.
