Retinal and choroidal vessels deliver the nutrition and
oxygen to maintain homeostasis for proper vision. The
damage on retina can cause a severe outcome of loss of
sight. In this study the feasibility generating a three
dimensional angiogram of the mouse eye using MRI was
explored. A magnetic field of 14 tesla and a dedicated
home built radiofrequency surface coil were used to
create a 30 um isotropic resolution angiogram of the
mouse eye. The results of this non-invasive study could
be used to investigate many ocular diseases, such as
diabetic retinopathy.
