RNFLDurchschnitt
RNFLDurchschnitt, or Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) Average, is a term used in the field of ophthalmology to describe the average thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) across the entire retina. The RNFL is a critical component of the retina, consisting of axons that transmit visual information from the retina to the brain. Its thickness is a key indicator of overall retinal health and can be measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-invasive imaging technique.
The RNFLAverage is typically expressed in microns and is calculated by averaging the thickness measurements obtained
Abnormalities in the RNFLAverage can indicate various eye conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal
Monitoring the RNFLAverage over time can be useful for assessing the progression of retinal diseases and the
