Example sentences for: macular
How can you use “macular” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This hypothesis applied to the macular area implies that RNFL reflectance will be minimum centrally and will increase with its thickness to the arcades, which agrees with clinical observation and with our measurements of normal macular reflectance patterns [ 26 ] . Also, since the RNFL is transparent, with transmission on the order of 99% for visible light [ 31 ] , its reflectance essentially adds to the apparent reflectance of underlying structures.
By adopting this unified approach to the macular reflectance problem, we avoid the multiple local thresholds used in previous approaches [ 17 18 19 20 24 25 ] . It is important to note, however, that our method is not the standard technique of shadowing by subtracting or dividing by a blur image.
Quantification of drusen is essential to the study of age related macular degeneration.
Power/type 2 error appears to be a major factor—if the genetic effect is sufficiently large ( HLA in Type 1 diabetes mellitus or CFH in age-related macular degeneration)—or, if the sample size is large, then there appears to be a greater chance of “hard” replication.
Since we were dealing with photography, not photometry, the choice of multiplicative or additive correction attempted to preserve semi-quantitative relationships of reflectance rather than absolute levels or precise numerical relationships [ 31 ] . Further, since reflectance variability was at issue, rather than absolute levels, we considered only the most variable components: the macular luteal pigment, dealt with above, the nerve fiber layer [ 32 33 34 35 ] , and the RPE melanin [ 36 ] . The RPE melanin is denser in the fovea, and as such will reduce the reflectance of underlying drusen in much the same manner as the luteal pigment.
