TI  - Effect of image quality on tissue thickness measurements obtained with spectral 
      domain-optical coherence tomography.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of image quality on 
      retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and retinal thickness measurements obtained 
      using three commercially available spectral domain-optical coherence tomographers 
      (SD-OCT). Subjectively determined good, medium and poor quality images were 
      obtained from four healthy and one glaucoma suspect eyes. RNFL and retinal 
      thickness measurements were compared as a function of image quality. Results 
      indicate that when image quality is within the range specified as acceptable by 
      SD-OCT manufacturers, RNFL and retinal thickness measurements are comparable.
