Corneal graft evaluation based on optical coherence tomography image
An OCT image of an eye which has been subject to a DSAEK corneal transplant, in which a Descement's membrane in the cornea has been replaced by a graft, is processed to identify the outline of the graft. The process includes the steps of: computationally extracting the boundary of the cornea including the graft; computationally detecting the corners of the graft; computationally extracting points on the boundary between the graft and the original cornea; and computationally fitting the points on the boundary between the graft and the original cornea smoothly into a curve. The outline of the graft is ...
