This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Image processing and analysis has great significance in the field of medical science. One such area is the analysis of retinal fundus images. This book explains an automated system for detection and analysis of retinal diseases from fundus images. Common retinal diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa and Glaucoma are studied in detail and appropriate detection approaches has been discussed. These diseases usually causes vision loss that in many cases cannot be reversed in advanced stages whereas they can be controlled in the early stages otherwise it progresses to loss of central vision and leads to complete blindness. Experimental results shows very significant detection rate of the methods discussed especially in locating optic disk with normalized cross correlation function. The proposed automated detection system can therefore be deployed for mass screening of retinal fundus images for early detection of common retinal diseases in rural areas where there is non-availability of good number of ophthalmologist and reducing the screening cost in the same time.

Download or read book Automatic Retinal Image Analysis to Triage Retinal Pathologies written by Renoh Johnson Chalakkal and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundus retinal imaging is a non-invasive way of imaging the retina popular among the ophthalmic community and the targeted population. Over the past 15 years, extensive research and clinical studies using fundus images have been done for automatizing the screening and diagnosing process of three significant conditions affecting vision: macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. These are the most important causes of preventable blindness around the globe, yet they can be successfully screened using the fundus image of the retina. Such diseases are associated with an observable variation in the structural and functional properties of the retina. Manual triage/diagnosis of these diseases is time-consuming and requires specialized ophthalmologists/optometrists; it is also expensive. Computer-aided medical triage/diagnosis can be applied to fundus retinal image analysis, thereby automatizing the triage. The process involves successfully combining sub-tasks focused at analyzing, locating, and segmenting different landmark structures inside a retina. The preliminary objective of this thesis is to develop automatic retinal image analysis (ARIA) techniques capable of analyzing, locating, and segmenting the key structures from the fundus image and combine them effectively to create a complete automatic screening system. First, the retinal vessel, which is the most important structure, is segmented. Two methods are developed for doing this: the first uses adaptive histogram equalization and anisotropic diffusion filtering, followed by weighted scaling and vessel edge enhancement. Fuzzy-C-mean classification, together with morphological transforms and connected component analysis, is applied to segment the vessel pixels. A second improved method for vessel segmentation is proposed, which is capable of segmenting the tiny peripheral vessel pixels missed by the first method. This method uses curvelet transform-based vessel edge enhancement technique followed by modified line operator-based vessel pixel segmentation. Second, a novel technique to automatically detect and segment important structures such as optic disc, macula, and fovea from a retinal image is developed. These structures, together with the retinal vessels, are considered as the retinal landmarks. The proposed method automatically detects the optic disc using histogram-based template matching combined with the maximum sum of vessel information. The optic disc region is segmented by using the Circular Hough Transform. For detecting fovea, the retinal image is uniformly divided into three horizontal stripes, and the strip including the detected optic disc, is selected. The contrast of the horizontal strip containing the optic disc region is then enhanced using a series of image processing steps. The macula region is first detected in the optic disc strip using various morphological operations and connected component analysis. The fovea is located inside this detected macular region. Next, an algorithm capable of analyzing the retinal image quality and content is developed. Often, methods focusing on ARIA use public retinal image databases for performance evaluation. The quality of images in such databases is often not evaluated as a pre-requisite for ARIA. Therefore, the performance metrics reported by such ARIA methods are inconsistent. Considering these facts, a deep learning-based approach to assess the quality of input retinal images is proposed. The method begins with a deep learning-based classification that identifies the image quality in terms of sharpness, illumination, and homogeneity, followed by an unsupervised second level that evaluates the field definition and content of the image. The proposed method is general and robust, making it more suitable than the alternative methods currently adopted in clinical practice. Finally, an automatic deep learning-based method for clinically significant macular edema triage is proposed. The classified high-quality retinal images are used as inputs. Both full image and ARIA processed image are experimented as the possible inputs. Deep convolutional neural networks are used as feature extractors. The extracted features are over-sampled to balance the highly skewed database samples across the examined classes. Finally, using the reduced feature set obtained through feature selection, a simple k-NN classifier demonstrates significant classification performance, thereby validating the preliminary objective of this study.

It details eye imaging, textural imaging, and modeling, and highlights specific imaging and modeling techniques. The book covers the detection of diabetes retinopathy, glaucoma, anterior segment eye abnormalities, instruments on detection of glaucoma, and development of human eye models using computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer principles to predict inner temperatures of the eye from its surface temperature. It presents an ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) system for anterior chamber angle imaging and proposes an automated anterior segment eye disease classification system that can be used for early disease diagnosis and treatment management. It focuses on the segmentation of the blood vessels in high-resolution retinal images and describes the integration of the image processing methodologies in a web-based framework aimed at retinal analysis. The authors introduce the A-Levelset algorithm, explore the ARGALI system to calculate the cup-to-disc ratio (CDR), and describe the Singapore Eye Vessel Assessment (SIVA) system, a holistic tool which brings together various technologies from image processing and artificial intelligence to construct vascular models from retinal images.
