Two-Dimensional Plane for Multi-Scale Quantification of Corneal Subbasal Nerve Tortuosity
PURPOSE To assess the performance of a novel system for automated tortuosity estimation and interpretation. METHODS A supervised strategy (driven by observers' grading) was employed to automatically identify the combination of tortuosity measures (i.e., tortuosity representation) leading to the best agreement with the observers. We investigated 18 tortuosity measures including curvature and d...
متن کاملFocused Tortuosity Definitions Based on Expert Clinical Assessment of Corneal Subbasal Nerves.
PURPOSE We examined agreement among experts in the assessment of corneal subbasal nerve tortuosity. METHODS Images of corneal subbasal nerves were obtained from investigators at seven sites (Auckland, Boston, Linköping, Manchester, Oslo, Rostock, and Sydney) using laser-scanning in vivo confocal microscopy. A set of 30 images was assembled and ordered by increasing tortuosity by 10 expert gra...
متن کاملA fully automated tortuosity quantification system with application to corneal nerve fibres in confocal microscopy images
Recent clinical research has highlighted important links between a number of diseases and the tortuosity of curvilinear anatomical structures like corneal nerve fibres, suggesting that tortuosity changes might detect early stages of specific conditions. Currently, clinical studies are mainly based on subjective, visual assessment, with limited repeatability and inter-observer agreement. To addr...
متن کاملCorneal nerve tortuosity in diabetic patients with neuropathy.
PURPOSE Corneal confocal microscopy is a reiterative, rapid, noninvasive in vivo clinical examination technique capable of imaging corneal nerve fibers. Nerve fiber tortuosity may indicate a degenerative and attempted regenerative response of nerve fibers to diabetes. The purpose of this study was to define alterations in the tortuosity of corneal nerve fibers in relation to age, duration of di...
متن کاملConstructing Two-Dimensional Multi-Wavelet for Solving Two-Dimensional Fredholm Integral Equations
In this paper, a two-dimensional multi-wavelet is constructed in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. The constructed multi-wavelet is an orthonormal basis for space. By discretizing two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation reduce to a algebraic system. The obtained system is solved by the Galerkin method in the subspace of by using two-dimensional multi-wavelet bases. Because the bases of subs...
