Summary

Retinal oxygenation response (ROR) measured by MRI assesses the eye's oxygen regulation. Subnormal ROR is linked to retinopathy, showing promise for drug efficacy assessment and clinical trials.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Physiology

Background:

  • The retina, a highly metabolically active tissue, requires precise oxygen balance for health.
  • Dysregulation of oxygen supply and demand can lead to retinal diseases like retinopathy.
  • Assessing retinal oxygenation response (ROR) to hyperoxia is crucial for understanding tissue health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development and application of MRI-based ROR measurements.
  • To explore the association between subnormal ROR and different stages of retinopathy.
  • To evaluate ROR as a potential surrogate marker for drug treatment efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an MRI-based technique to measure ROR.
  • Quantification of vitreal oxygen level changes (DeltaPO2) during hyperoxic provocation.
  • Application of the technique in the context of retinopathy.

Main Results:

  • Subnormal ROR is spatially and temporally associated with non-proliferative and proliferative retinopathy.
  • MRI ROR measurements show potential as a surrogate marker for drug efficacy.
  • Recent adaptations have made human ROR measurement routine, facilitating clinical trials.

Conclusions:

  • MRI-based ROR measurement is a valuable tool for assessing retinal oxygenation.
  • Subnormal ROR is a significant indicator of retinopathy severity.
  • The routine measurement of ROR supports its use in future clinical trials for evaluating treatments.
