Comparison of MultiColor fundus imaging and colour fundus photography in the evaluation of epiretinal membrane.

Purpose: To compare MultiColor fundus imaging (MC) and colour fundus photography (CFP) for the evaluation of epiretinal membrane (ERM).

Methods: In this retrospective study, 192 eyes (181 patients) that underwent vitrectomy for ERM were imaged using Spectralis optical coherence tomography (for MC) and AFC-210 digital camera (for CFP) 1 week before vitrectomy. Two investigators independently determined the rate of delineability and ERM area for each modality.

Longitudinal Pure-Tone Threshold Changes in the Same Subjects: Analysis of Factors Affecting Hearing.

Objectives: To investigate the change of hearing threshold over time and analyze factors that could affect hearing, this longitudinal study of pure-tone threshold changes in the same subjects at a 9-year interval was performed.

Study Design: Retrospective longitudinal study in a single center (n = 1,978).

Methods: A total of 1,978 subjects were included; they received pure-tone audiometry at a 9-year interval.

Quantitative analysis of background parenchymal enhancement in whole breast on MRI: Influence of menstrual cycle and comparison with a qualitative analysis.

Objective: We quantitatively analyzed background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in whole breast according to menstrual cycle and compared it with a qualitative analysis method.

Materials And Methods: A data set of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from 273 breast cancer patients was used. For quantitative analysis, we used semiautomated in-house software with MATLAB.
