“…Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT-2) obtains topographic images of the optic nerve in vivo [11] and has been utilized primarily in the evaluation of glaucoma [12], retinal pathology [13,14] and optic nerve swelling [15,16].…”

“…The scanning laser ophthalmoscope has proven to be potentially useful in quantifying small changes in retinal architecture: it has good reproducibility for height measurements [22] and volumetric measurements at the macula in normal subjects [35] and in diabetic patients [37]. Thus, we believe that the differences we found in macular volumetric measurements between diabetic and nondiabetic women indicate actual central macular elevation during diabetic pregnancy.…”

“…78 Their findings corroborate those of other researchers that measurement variability is greater in glaucoma patients than normal individuals. [77][78][79] Other sources of increased variability in HRT measurements are accommodation, 80 incorrect alignment of the laser beam with the optic disc 81,82 and variations in the location of the reference plane. 83 …”

“…185 This feature, per se, has not been widely explored. Variability has been investigated at the optic disc 75,76 and macula, 80,243,244 but these studies (as with Chapter 10 of this report) included image capture as a variable. A recent study 245 examined the effect of intraobserver variability in the placement of the contour line on nine HRT stereometric parameters.…”

Non-UK purchasers will have to pay a small fee for post and packing. For European countries the cost is £2 per monograph and for the rest of the world £3 per monograph.You can order HTA monographs from our Despatch Agents:-fax (with credit card or official purchase order) -post (with credit card or official purchase order or cheque) -phone during office hours (credit card only).Additionally the HTA website allows you either to pay securely by credit card or to print out your order and then post or fax it. Contact details are as follows: Payment methods Paying by chequeIf you pay by cheque, the cheque must be in pounds sterling, made payable to Direct Mail Works Ltd and drawn on a bank with a UK address. Paying by credit cardThe following cards are accepted by phone, fax, post or via the website ordering pages: Delta, Eurocard, Mastercard, Solo, Switch and Visa. We advise against sending credit card details in a plain email. Paying by official purchase orderYou can post or fax these, but they must be from public bodies (i.e. NHS or universities) within the UK. We cannot at present accept purchase orders from commercial companies or from outside the UK. How do I get a copy of HTA on CD?Please use the form on the HTA website (www.hta.ac.uk/htacd.htm). Or contact Direct Mail Works (see contact details above) by email, post, fax or phone. HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public, service-users groups and professional bodies such as Royal Colleges and NHS Trusts.Research suggestions are carefully considered by panels of independent experts (including service users) whose advice results in a ranked list of recommended research priorities. The HTA Programme then commissions the researc...
