Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) cause retinal thinning that is detectable in vivo using optical coherence tomography (OCT). To date, no papers have compared the two diseases in terms of the structural differences they produce in the retina. The purpose of this study is to analyse and compare the neuroretinal structure in MS patients, AD patients and healthy subjects using OCT.

- The study focuses on identifying new biomarkers for the early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) using advanced techniques like spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and artificial intelligence.
- Researchers analyzed retinal thickness and differences between the eyes in patients with relapsing-remitting MS and healthy controls to find specific patterns that could indicate MS.
- The results showed promising accuracy for diagnosing MS: using a convolutional neural network, the study achieved an accuracy of 87%, suggesting that neuroretinal structure analysis might be an important addition to current diagnostic methods for MS.
