Thank you very much for your interest in our research aimed at evaluating the new and non-invasive methods of imaging the increased risk of cerebral edema in the course of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children with type 1 diabetes [
1]. We realize that there are more advanced methods of corneal thickness measurement, but methods proposed by us can be performed at the bedside which is extremely important for pediatric patients due to the difficult cooperation and often severe clinical condition of patients with DKA. In our study, we have considered the imaging methods which can be used on medical duty in any medical unit and when more advanced neuroimaging methods are not available. …
