Automatic retinal nerve fiber bundle tracing based on large field of view polarization sensitive OCT data

A technique to accurately estimate trajectories of retinal nerve fiber bundles (RNFB) in a large field of view (FOV) image covering 45° is described. The method utilizes stitched projections of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) data, as well as a mathematical model of aver...

Sumario:A technique to accurately estimate trajectories of retinal nerve fiber bundles (RNFB) in a large field of view (FOV) image covering 45° is described. The method utilizes stitched projections of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) data, as well as a mathematical model of average RNFB trajectories as prior. The fully automatic process was applied to data recorded in healthy subjects and glaucoma patients and automatically detected individual RNFB trajectories are compared to manual traces.
