Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a spectroscopic imaging technique
used in medical to produce images of the human body. MRI is one of the
safety diagnostic procedures for measurement of the optic nerve diameter.
The objective of this study is to measure the effectiveness of magnetic
resonance imaging to measure the optic nerve affected by Diabetes. A total
of 50 diabetic and control patients [30 (60%) diabetic patients, 20 (40%)
control group]. The mean and range of patient age was 57.5 (30-85) years
old.
The study found that in a comparison between males and females in the
measurement of the optic nerve was insignificant (diabetes has no effect on
gender). But when we compare between types of diabetic found that also
imaging insignificant results. Whereas, comparison between diabetic
patients and control group there was a significant different in measurements
of the optic nerve. The patient age affect the optic nerve diameter in length
and widths. The gender has no effect on the optic nerve diameter in diabetic
patient.
This study was conducted in Daralelaj Specialized Hospital in the period
from February 2018 to May 2018.
