To investigate lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) volume
of glaucoma patients compared with age-matched normal
controls using ultra-high field 7.0-T magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). On high-resolution 7.0-T MRI, LGN volumes
in POAG patients are significantly smaller than those of
healthy subjects. Furthermore, in patients, LGN volume
was found to be significantly correlated with ganglion
cell layer and inner plexus layer (GCIPL) thickness of
the contralateral eye.
