P 345 A new system for automatic on-line measurement of retinal vessel diameter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods A measuring ophthalmoscope based on the Zeiss retina camera RC 310 is coupled with a CCD device. A frame grabber digitizes the picture section with the interesting vessel segments. An adaptive algorithm recognizes the position and direction of the vessels automatically and calculates the vessel diameters. Other measuring data are recorded additionally, for example the R spike of the electrocardiogram. This additional information can be used for the measurement of the pulsating changes of the vessel diameter.

Automatic measurement of instantaneous changes in the walls of carotid artery with sequential ultrasound images
Introduction: This study presents a computerized analyzing method for detection of instantaneous changes of far and near walls of the common carotid artery in sequential ultrasound images by applying the maximum gradient algorithm. Maximum gradient was modified and some characteristics were added from the dynamic programming algorithm for our applications. Methods: The algorithm was evaluat...

In this paper, a new unsupervised algorithm for automatic retinal blood vessel extraction is presented. A pre-processing step is introduced to eliminating optic disk and back ground noise. Blood vessel highlighting is prepared by a new method inspired by simple cells in human visual system. An adaptive threshold is introduced as an activation function of simple cells. Post-processing step is us...
متن کاملBlood vessel diameter Measurement on retinal Image
Accurate measurement of vessel diameters on retinal images plays an important part in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and early signs of certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. In this study we develop new method based on computer aided to determine the width of retinal blood vessels by analysing the color fundus image. Retinal vessel diameter was measured based on bloo...
متن کاملUpdate on retinal vessel structure measurement with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
This study was conducted to demonstrate a new scan method for retinal vessel structure measurement in a specific region of fundus (zone B) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and to assess its reliability. One temporal superior retinal vessel pair passing through a concentric ring (zone B), which was defined between half and one disc distance from the optic disc border,...
متن کاملExtracting Vessel Centerlines From Retinal Images Using Topographical Properties and Directional Filters
In this paper we consider the problem of blood vessel segmentation in retinal images. After enhancing the retinal image we use green channel of images for segmentation as it provides better discrimination between vessels and background. We consider the negative of retinal green channel image as a topographical surface and extract ridge points on this surface. The points with this property are l...
