Choroidal vascularity index in adults with different refractive status
We aimed to perform structural analysis of the choroid in adults with different refractive status.A prospective, comparative study of 100 right eyes of 100 patients ages 18-40 years was conducted. The patients were divided into four groups according to spherical equivalent (SE): Group 1: -0.5 and above, low-to-moderate myopia; Group 2: -6 and above ...

This study investigated whether using a larger image matrix (1024 × 1024 pixels instead of 512 × 512) improves the visibility of tiny brain arteries on CT scans performed with standard 64‐slice scanners. While physical image quality measurements remained unchanged, the larger matrix provided finer digital sampling of blood vessel structures, resulting ...
