我们的目的是在无创自适应光学扫描激光检眼镜（AO-SLO）的辅助下观察视网膜动脉壁厚度。对一名正常受试者和一名恶性高血压视网膜病变患者的动脉壁厚度进行了测量和比较。新开发的AO-SLO系统显示，视盘下方1乳头直径的视网膜动脉动脉壁厚度增加。高血压患者的平均壁厚为18.7 μm，壁腔比为0.44，均大于正常人。AO-SLO使我们能够评估高血压患者的视网膜壁厚度。动脉壁较正常人增厚。AO-SLO可能促进未来人类医学中动脉壁的无创研究。
We aimed to visualize the retinal arterial wall thickness, assisted by noninvasive adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO). The arterial wall thickness was measured and compared between one normal subject and one patient suffering from malignant hypertensive retinopathy. Increased arterial wall thickness was revealed with a newly developed AO-SLO system, in a retinal artery of 1-papilla diameter temporal inferior to the optic disc. The average wall thickness, with hypertension, was 18.7 μm, and the wall-to-lumen ratio was 0.44, both bigger than normal. AO-SLO enabled us to evaluate the retinal wall thickness in the hypertensive patient. The arterial walls were thickened compared with normal. AO-SLO may facilitate future noninvasive study of arterial walls in human medicine.
