3 March 2014Evaluation of state-of-the-art imaging systems for in vivo monitoring of retinal structure in mice: current capabilities and limitations
Animal models of human diseases play an important role in studying and advancing our
understanding of these conditions, allowing molecular level studies of pathogenesis as well as testing
of new therapies. Recently several non-invasive imaging modalities including Fundus Camera,
Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) have been
successfully applied to monitor changes in the retinas of the living animals in experiments in which a
single animal is followed over a portion of its lifespan. Here we evaluate the capabilities and
limitations of these three imaging modalities for visualization of specific structures in the mouse eye.
Example images acquired from different types of mice are presented. Future directions of development
for these instruments and potential advantages of multi-modal imaging systems are discussed as well.
