Multimodal retinal imaging: new strategies for the detection of glaucoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glaucoma is a serious worldwide disease whose treatment can be improved by early detection. As part of a new clinical approach this paper introduces some preliminary studies in the computerised detection of the disease. In particular we consider the problems of registering 3D laser data with a digital image. We introduce a new method based on windowed mutual information and show that it performs better than the standard mutual information technique.

Strategies for improving early detection of glaucoma: the combined structure–function index
The early detection of glaucoma is important in order to enable appropriate monitoring and treatment, and to minimize the risk of irreversible visual field loss. Although advances in ocular imaging offer the potential for earlier diagnosis, the best method is likely to involve a combination of information from structural and functional tests. Recent studies have shown it is possible to estimate...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Despite tremendous advances in medical and surgical management of glaucoma in the recent years, the prevalence of glaucoma related blindness is anticipated to increase in the future decades because of the aging population. Stem cells have the potential to change the glaucoma management in several ways. There are several areas of ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging of any tissue we can analyze with a light source [1], OCT became the gold standard for retinal disease during the last decade and take the most important place in multimodal exploration in retinal diseases. Time domain OCT (TD OCT) first, spectral domain OCT (SD OCT) and swept source OCT (SS OCT) now, are the best friends for the retinal daily pr...
