Neuro-ophthalmic Imaging and Visual Assessment Technology for Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS)
Spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) refers to a unique collection of neuro-ophthalmic clinical and imaging findings observed in astronauts after long duration spaceflight. Current in-flight and post-flight imaging modalities (e.g., optical coherence tomography, orbital ultrasound, and funduscopy) have played an instrumental role in the understanding and monitoring of SANS development; however, the precise etiology for this neuro-ophthalmic phenomenon is still not completely understood.
