METHOD FOR VISUALIZING A MEMBRANE ON A RETINA OF AN EYE AND SURGICAL MICROSCOPE FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

A method for visualizing a membrane on a retina of an eye includes recording a first image of the retina of the eye, wherein the membrane on the retina of the eye is not stained, recording a second image of the retina of the eye after the membrane on the retina of the eye has been stained, determining a first transformation such that mutually corresponding structures of the retina of the eye are located at mutually corresponding places in the second image and in the first image which was transformed with the first transformation, identifying image regions in the second image, which contain the membrane on the retina, based on the transformed first image and the recorded second image, and displaying the second image such that the identified image regions in the second image are highlighted relative to the surroundings of the identified image regions.

1. Method for visualizing a membrane on a retina of an eye, the method comprising:
recording a first image of the retina of the eye, wherein the membrane on the retina of the eye is not stained; recording a second image of the retina of the eye after the membrane on the retina of the eye has been stained; determining a first transformation such that mutually corresponding structures of the retina of the eye are disposed at mutually corresponding places in the second image and in the first image that has been transformed with the first transformation; identifying image regions in the second image, which essentially completely contain the membrane on the retina and substantially exclusively contain the membrane of the retina, specifically based on the transformed first image and the recorded second image; and, displaying the second image so as to cause the identified image regions in the second image to be highlighted relative to surroundings of the identified image regions.
