The doctoral thesis defended by Domingo Giménez Castejon, at the Catholic University San Antonio, stressed the usefulness of the tomographic technique (TCO) for measuring the macular thickness and the layer of optic nerve fibers, variables related to the first signs of loss memory, helping to improve the diagnosis and consequently detect Alzheimer's disease early.
Alzheimer's disease is a problem of paramount importance today with difficult diagnosis for those affected.
The results obtained in the investigation have validated the effectiveness of clinical positron ability to observe, through the image, neurodegeneration that occurs in neurons and brain nerve fibers, closely related to the optic nerve.
It has been observed that the deterioration of the optic nerve may be associated with mild cognitive impairment and subjective memory loss, detect variables that would allow future patients with dementia.
This study is the result of the doctoral thesis conducted by Domingo Giménez Castejon, directed by Jerome Lajara directors Blesa, María Gómez Martínez Martínez Martínez and María Llanos UCAM, which has obtained outstanding cum laude.
