      Analysis of Normal Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness by Age, Sex, and Race Using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Purpose: To determine the effects of age, sex, and race on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in the normal human eye as measured by the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) Spectralis machine (Heidelberg Engineering). Methods: Peripapillary SD-OCT RNFL thickness measurements were determined in normal subjects seen at a university-based clinic. One randomly selected eye per subject was used for analysis in this cross-sectional study. Multiple regression analysis was ... (Read Full Article)

    3. Extracting structural features of rat sciatic nerve using polarization-sensitive spectral domain optical coherence tomography

      Explore Linking to Scitation Content (May 4 2012) Neurology

      Extracting structural features of rat sciatic nerve using polarization-sensitive spectral domain optical coherence tomography We present spectral domain polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (SD PS-OCT) imaging of peripheral nerves. Structural and polarization-sensitive OCT imaging of uninjured rat sciatic nerves was evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. OCT and its functional extension, PS-OCT, were used to image sciatic nerve structure with clear delineation of the nerve boundaries to muscle and adipose tissues. A long-known optical effect, bands of Fontana, was also observed. Postprocessing analysis of these images ... (Read Full Article)

      Development of functional near-infrared optical coherence tomography (Thesis) Medical imaging is a discipline where the fields of mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine are combined in the acquisition, computation and interpretation of threedimensional images of (human) tissue. A variety of imaging modalities that provide information about morphological structure and function of biological tissues has been developed. These modalities are based on electromagnetic waves (magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computed tomography, confocal microscopy), sound (ultrasonography), or nuclear tracers (positron emission tomography ...

    11. Phase-stabilized optical frequency domain imaging at 1-µm for the measurement of blood flow in the human choroid

      Explore opticsinfobase.org (Oct 5 2011) Ophthalmology

      Phase-stabilized optical frequency domain imaging at 1-µm for the measurement of blood flow in the human choroid In optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) the measurement of interference fringes is not exactly reproducible due to small instabilities in the swept-source laser, the interferometer and the data-acquisition hardware. The resulting variation in wavenumber sampling makes phase-resolved detection and the removal of fixed-pattern noise challenging in OFDI. In this paper this problem is solved by a new post-processing method in which interference fringes are resampled to the exact same wavenumber ... (Read Full Article)

    15. Automated segmentation by pixel classification of retinal layers in ophthalmic OCT images

      Explore opticsinfobase.org (May 27 2011) Ophthalmology

      Automated segmentation by pixel classification of retinal layers in ophthalmic OCT images Current OCT devices provide three-dimensional (3D) in-vivo images of the human retina. The resulting very large data sets are difficult to manually assess. Automated segmentation is required to automatically process the data and produce images that are clinically useful and easy to interpret. In this paper, we present a method to segment the retinal layers in these images. Instead of using complex heuristics to define each layer, simple features are ... (Read Full Article)
