Retinal thickness as potential biomarker in posterior cortical atrophy and typical Alzheimer’s disease

Retinal thickness as potential biomarker in posterior cortical atrophy and typical Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract Background Retinal thickness can be measured non-invasively with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and may offer compelling potential as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Retinal thinning is hypothesized to be a result of retrograde atrophy and/or parallel neurodegenerative process...
