The mean thickness values of the layers were compared at each stage.
Differences in the mean thickness values of the central and peripheral subfields before and after correction in scans taken using Spectralis were discussed.
Intraindividual subanalysis of the mean thickness values for subfields 5 to 8 revealed significant difference between the nasal, temporal, inferior, and superior subfields in both groups.
To allow for a more detailed subanalysis of various retinal layers, we used high-resolution SDOCT images and manual grading software to calculate mean thickness values for various retinal spaces for the ETDRS subfields 5 8.
The differences in the mean thickness values before and after correction in scans taken using Spectralis™ were most obvious in the central subfields of the retina (C1, N1, S1, T1, and I1) with the peripheral subfields being spared (N2, S2, T2 and I2).
Recent results on choroidal layer-by-layer measurements with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in healthy eyes demonstrated mean thickness values of 52.9, 204.3, and 256.8 μm for the inner (choriocapillaris to medium vessels), outer (choroidal large vessels), and whole layers, respectively [ 9].
Mean thickness values for the ETDRS grid subfields 5 8 were calculated for the spaces neurosensory retina, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), a combined space of inner plexiform layer/outer plexiform layer/inner nuclear layer (IPL+INL+OPL), and a combined space of outer nuclear layer/photoreceptor layers (ONL+PL).
The small-angle X-ray scattering results revealed that for Tc of 130 °C, the long period associated with the lamellae stacks and the mean lamellar thickness values of pure PLLA and PLLA/PDLLA blend films did not depend on the PDLLA content.
