In this study, we report the simple objective method using the visual evoked field (VEF) on magnetoencephalography (MEG). Methods: We measured the hemifield VEF waveforms in 75 patients suffering from pituitary adenoma and examined the P100m latency and magnetic moment (dipole moment and confidence volume) in comparison with the Goldmann perimetry findings. Results: The specificity of the VEF for detecting a normal visual field on Goldmann perimetry was 95.2%, while the sensitivity of the VEF for detecting visual field abnormalities on Goldmann perimetry was 88.6%. In addition to the P100m latency, the magnetic moment were found to be extremely sensitive parameters for detecting visual field impairments. Conclusions: This simple objective and easy method using the P100m latency and magnetic moment of VEF on MEG provides an excellent ability to examine the visual field.}, pages = {39--48}, title = {A novel method for evaluating the visual field using magnetoencephalography : A simple objective method using the P100m latency and magnetic moment}, volume = {35}, year = {2017} }
