Automatic montage of SD-OCT data sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an automatic algorithm for the montage of OCT data sets, which produces a composite 3D OCT image over a large field of view out of several separate, partially overlapping OCT data sets. First the OCT fundus images (OFIs) are registered, using blood vessel ridges as the feature of interest and a two step iterative procedure to minimize the distance between all matching point pairs over the set of OFIs. Then the OCT data sets are merged to form a full 3D montage using cross-correlation. The algorithm was tested using an imaging protocol consisting of 8 OCT images for each eye, overlapping to cover a total retinal region of approximately 50x35 degrees. The results for 3 normal eyes and 3 eyes with retinal degeneration are analyzed, showing registration errors of 1.5±0.3 and 2.0±0.8 pixels respectively.

Semi-automatic geographic atrophy segmentation for SD-OCT images.
Geographic atrophy (GA) is a condition that is associated with retinal thinning and loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer. It appears in advanced stages of non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and can lead to vision loss. We present a semi-automated GA segmentation algorithm for spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images. The method first identifie...

Methods An automatic GA segmentation method for SD-OCT images based on the deep network was constructed. The structure of the deep network was composed of...
متن کاملAutomated geographic atrophy segmentation for SD-OCT images using region-based C-V model via local similarity factor.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among elderly individuals. Geographic atrophy (GA) is a phenotypic manifestation of the advanced stages of non-exudative AMD. Determination of GA extent in SD-OCT scans allows the quantification of GA-related features, such as radius or area, which could be of important value to monitor AMD progression and possibly identif...

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is used for cross-section imaging, in ophthalmology for retinal tissue. Extracting structural information about the retinal layers is becoming increasingly important, as this has the potential to expand retinal disease research and improve diagnosis. The purpose of our study was to facilitate a robust and efficient algorithm for segmentation...
متن کاملClassification of SD-OCT Volumes Using Local Binary Patterns: Experimental Validation for DME Detection
This paper addresses the problem of automatic classification of Spectral Domain OCT (SD-OCT) data for automatic identification of patients with DME versus normal subjects. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has been a valuable diagnostic tool for DME, which is among the most common causes of irreversible vision loss in individuals with diabetes. Here, a classification framework with five distin...
