Automated Measurement of Iris Surface Smoothness Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography

Fuchs uveitis (FU) is a chronic and often unilateral ocular inflammation and characteristic iris atrophic changes, other than heterochromia, are common in FU and are key to the correct diagnosis in many cases. With the advent of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), some investigators attempted to quantitatively study these atrophic changes; mostly by introducing various methods to measure iris thickness in AS-OCT images. We aimed to present an automated method in a observational case series to measure the smoothness index (SI) of iris surface in AS-OCT images. The ratio of the length of the straight line connecting the most ...
