Title: Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of AMD Diseases Based on OCT Images
Abstract:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging has been quickly developed and used for retinal disease diagnosis. This talk focus
on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) based on OCT images, which includes:
drusen and geographic atrophy (GA) segmentation, choroid and fluid-associated region segmentation. According to the object
segmentation, quantitative parameters, such as volume and area, can be calculated for clinical analysis. To facilitate the intuitive
and whole observation of AMD diseases, several projection techniques for drusen and GA visualization from 3D OCT cube to 2D
fundus projection image are also introduced, which is more effective than the traditional summed-voxel projection due to the
increased contrast and distinction.
