Clinical assessment of mirror artifacts in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

abstract：PURPOSE:Migration of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells can be triggered by disruption of the RPE monolayer or injury to the neural retina. Migrating cells may re-establish a confluent monolayer, or they may invade the neural retina and disrupt visual function. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of e...
