Abstract
In addition to the morphologic parameters of retinal structures, OCT images also provide the signal/reflection intensity information, which is however much less studied. This chapter introduces several studies on the quantitative analysis of the retinal layers’ optical intensity, both for normal subjects and for patients with central retinal artery occlusion.
