What does NFL stand for?

Here's a brief roundup of technologies under study for their usefulness in measuring MS-related damage and therapeutic success: * OCT (optical coherence tomography): a tool that is relatively easy to use and that utilizes infrared light to measure the thickness of the nerve fiber layer of the retina in the back of the eye, and its connection to the optic nerve.

Retinal vessels form 3 parallels in the nerve fiber layer and 2 plexiform layers in the inner retina (Risau 1997).

OECs have been obtained from embryonic tissue [30], in which the nerve fiber layer is only loosely attached to the marginal zone of the primordial OB [31], thus reducing possible contamination by other OB cell types.

Names have been blacked out with heavy marker, leaving only such coolly harrowing remarks as: ``There is extensive hemorrhage in the nerve fiber layer and also in the bipolar cell layer.

For example, glaucoma damage can be detected only after prolonged destruction of the retina's nerve fiber layer.

The Nerve Fiber Analyzer[TM] measures the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer using proprietary technology to measure the polarization properties of the nerve fiber layer.

0 with Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Macular Normative Databases is indicated for in-vivo viewing, axial cross-sectional, and three-dimensional imaging and measurement of anterior and posterior ocular structures.

The epiretinal approach involves stimulation of the nerve fiber layer with electrodes that receive input from an external camera [6,9-11].
