Metamaterial Antennas Enhance MRI of the Eye and Occipital Brain
A radiofrequency antenna platform comprising planar and bend configurations is developed, incorporating structurally integrated epsilon‐negative metamaterial unit cells to enhance MRI. These antennas enable high‐resolution in vivo human MRI of the eye, orbit, and occipital brain. Comprehensive validation, including simulations, phantom experiments, SAR,

Choroidal vascularity index and choroidal thickness: potential biomarkers in retinitis pigmentosa
AbstractRetinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the commonest inherited retinal dystrophy. It is characterized by progressive photoreceptor degeneration and cell death and ongoing neuronal and vascular impairment. In recent years, pathophysiological alterations of the choroid have begun to be appreciated in RP.
