5. Quantitative assessment of glaucoma by artificial intelligence estimation of the waist of the nerve fiber layer in the optic nerve head
Sammanfattning : Glaucoma is a chronic progressive disease that causes loss of retinal ganglion cells, which impairs the visual field. In optic coherence tomography (OCT) image, the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons in the optic nerve head (ONH) can be quantified as the minimal thickness from the ONH Pigmental epithelium Central Limit (OPCL) to the Inner limit of the Retina Closest Point (IRCP).
