Method and System for Optic Nerve Head Shape Quantification

摘要

A fully automated optic nerve head description system based on optical coherence tomography that works with heavily deformed nerve heads and allows the generation of parameters describing swelling, including correlation with intracranial pressure both in detection and progression.

主权项

1. A method for describing the optic nerve head using structural information comprising: (A) providing a tomographic scan of the optic nerve head area of the eye; (B) defining two or more boundaries, wherein a boundary is the inner limiting membrane and a boundary is the retinal pigment epithelium or basal membrane; (C) interpolating the retinal pigment epithelium or basal membrane through the optic nerve head; (D) constructing volume and shape information between the boundaries.
