a modified semiautomatic method for measurement of hyperfluorescence area in fluorescein angiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
purpose : to offer a semi-automatic algorithm to determine the area of angiographic hyperfluorescence methods : the proposed algorithm included wavelet filter, histogram equalization and modified otsu thresholding. hyperfluorescent area of 30 angiographic images obtained from patients with leaking choroidal neovascularization (cnv) and diabetic retinopathy were evaluated and the results were compared with those obtained by an expert ophthalmologist. results : the best wavelet filter was determined. quantitative assessment of the hyperfluorescent area showed a mean error of 0.12±0.59 square millimeters. there was no significant difference between algorithm-measured and ophthalmologist-measured area. conclusion : the proposed algorithm may be used to accurately measure area of hyperfluorescence. iranian journal of ophthalmology 201022(4):73-79 © 2010 by the iranian society of ophthalmology

Measurement of Choroidal Neovascular Area in Age-Related Macular Degeneration using Modified Otsu’s Thresholding Method
Introduction: Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of the most important causes of irreversible blindness in the developed world and prevents the affected person from performing simple tasks such as reading, driving and facial recognition. In the AMD, new blood vessels grow underneath the retina in a process called choroidal neovascularisation (CNV). There ...

Fluorescein angiography is a clinical diagnostic test procedure in which rapid-sequence photography is performed after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein. The procedure allows the documentation of the retinal circulation. Of equal importance is the ability of the angiogram to outline the entire retinal vascular bed. Previous clinical methods of examination of the fundus enabled the phy...

Introduction Fluorescein angiography (FA) was introduced in ophthalmology by Novotny and Alvis in the sixties of the last century. They took serial fundus photographs after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein to study the retinal and choroidal circulation(1). Initially, they used this technique in diabetic and hypertensive patients and after, the technique was used in age-related macula...

Clinical examination of the ocular surface is commonly carried out after application of sodium fluorescein in both veterinary and medical practice by assessing the resulting 'staining'. Although localized intensely stained regions of the cornea frequently occur after exposure to 'adverse' clinical stimuli, the cell biology underlying this staining is unknown, including whether intense fluoresce...
