Pathological Involvement of Astrocyte-Derived Lipocalin-2 in the Demyelinating Optic Neuritis.

abstract：PURPOSE:There is no consensus as how to calculate orbital soft tissue volume based on CT or MRI scans. The authors sought to validate their technique and to assess the intraobserver and interobserver variability of their calculations of bony orbital volume (OV), orbital fat volume (FV), and extraocular muscle volume (M...
