A primer on this promising new technology for evaluating retinal vasculature
نویسندگان
چکیده
O ptical coherence tomography (OCT) is a commonly used technology that noninvasively generates images of the retina in cross section or in three dimensions.1-5 Advances in technology have facilitated additional applications of OCT such as phase-sensitive OCT, polarization-sensitive OCT, and spectroscopic OCT.6 These methods hold the promise of combining structural information with functional imaging capabilities to assess the metabolic state of the retinal tissue.7 This article reviews recent developments in the use of OCT technology for noninvasive assessment of the retinal vasculature. We refer to this technology as OCT angiography (OCTA).

متن کاملNew quantitative analysis, using high-resolution images, of oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization in mice.
Oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) has been widely studied as an animal model of retinal neovascularization diseases. Evaluation using this model is mainly performed by counting cell nuclei above the internal limiting membrane in serial cross-sections or by scoring in flat-mounted retinas. Quantitative evaluation is important for accurate elucidation of pathological conditions and the drug evalua...

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...
