The Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Findings Associated with the Morphological and Electrophysiological Changes in a Rat Model of Retinal Degeneration, Rhodopsin S334ter-4 Rats

Figure 1

Representative pictures of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images of SD rats (a, c, e, g, and i) and S334ter rats (b, d, f, h, and j). (a) An SD rat on P19. (b) An S334ter rat on P19. (c) An SD rat on P22. (d) An S334ter rat on P21. (e) An SD rat on P33. (f) An S334ter rat on P34. (g) An SD rat on P82. (h) An S334ter rat on P87. (i) An SD rat on P134. (j) An S334ter rat on P110. The right side panel of each picture is a magnified image. Abbreviations: A, retinal inner layer; B, retinal outer layer; C, photoreceptor rod and cone layer; D, combined retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid layers; EZ, inner segment ellipsoid zone; IZ, interdigitation zone. Arrows indicate the RPE layer. Bar indicates 100 μm.
