Example sentences for: rnfl

How can you use “rnfl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • This holds because if r N and r S are the reflectances of the RNFL and the subjacent structures, respectively, and t N is the transmission of the RNFL, then the net reflectance of the retina (both layers combined) will be:

  • The authors noted that this parallels the decline in thickness seen histologically [ 33 34 35 ] , and hypothesized that the reflectance spectrum of the RNFL is proportional to its thickness.

  • In this case t N is nearly unity, hence RNFL reflectance is additive to underlying structures such as drusen.

  • This hypothesis applied to the macular area implies that RNFL reflectance will be minimum centrally and will increase with its thickness to the arcades, which agrees with clinical observation and with our measurements of normal macular reflectance patterns [ 26 ] . Also, since the RNFL is transparent, with transmission on the order of 99% for visible light [ 31 ] , its reflectance essentially adds to the apparent reflectance of underlying structures.

  • In the case of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), we relied on the quantitative measurements of its spectral reflectance by Knighton [ 32 ] . The highest spectral reflectance is for blue light (460 nm), dropping off to perhaps 2/3 of this for green (510 nm).
