Method and system for analyzing optical coherence tomography (OCT) results using color reflectivity discretization analysis

摘要

A method of analyzing an OCT image. An OCT image has many differently colored dots. The system detects the number of differently colored dots, quantifies them and performs statistical analyses to determine a likelihood of disease. The different colored dots correspond to different retina cell types and structures.

1. A system for analyzing an OCT image to detect abnormalities, comprising:
an OCT image and stored in digital memory, said OCT image comprising at least an upper reflective layer and a lower reflective layer, said OCT image further comprising dots; software configured to isolate at least a portion of said upper reflective of said OCT image as an area for dot analysis; said software configured to perform a discretization operation, said discretization operation determining different ranges of pixel values, each of said ranges corresponding to a different color; said software configured to assign a color to dots in said upper reflective layer of said OCT image, said assignment of color based on a determined range of pixel values; and said software configured to count said dots which were assigned a color.
