| Abstract | PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between the retinal blood vessel topography and the retinal nerve fiber bundle (RNFB) trajectories in the human retina. METHODS: A previously collected dataset comprising 28 fundus photographs with traced RNFB trajectories was used. For all traced trajectories, the departure from our previously published RNFB trajectory model was calculated. Subsequently, we calculated, per subject, a 'mean departure' for the superior-temporal and inferior-temporal region. We measured angles between a line connecting the optic nerve head (ONH) center and the fovea and lines connecting the ONH center and the crossings of the superior and inferior temporal arteries (arterial angles) and veins (venous angles) with circles around the ONH; circle radii were 25%, 50%, and 100% of the ONH center-to-fovea distance. We also defined two angles based on the location of the first arteriovenous crossing. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed with mean departure as dependent variable and refraction, ONH inclination, and vessel angles as independent variables. RESULTS: In the superior-temporal region, refraction (P = 0.017), ONH inclination (P = 0.021), and the arterial angle corresponding to the middle circle (P < 0.001) were significant determinants of mean departure. Explained variance was 0.54. In the inferior-temporal region, the arterial angle corresponding to the largest circle (P = 0.002) was significant. Explained variance was 0.32. CONCLUSIONS: The retinal blood vessel topography explains a significant part of the RNFB trajectory variability but only if (1) the vessel topography is assessed at an appropriate distance from the ONH and (2) the superior and inferior hemifield are addressed independently. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
