Computer algorithms for the automated measurement of retinal arteriolar diameters.
AIMS Quantification of retinal vascular change is difficult and manual measurements of vascular features are slow and subject to observer bias. These problems may be overcome using computer algorithms. Three automated methods and a manual method for measurement of arteriolar diameters from digitised red-free retinal photographs were compared. METHODS 60 diameters (in pixels) measured by manua...
متن کاملNovel Computerized Method for Measurement of Retinal Vessel Diameters
Several clinical studies reveal the relationship between alterations in the topologies of the human retinal blood vessel, the outcrop and the disease evolution, such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Indeed, the detection of these vascular changes always has gaps. In addition, the manual steps are slow, which may be subjected to a bias of the perceiver...
متن کاملMeasurement of Vessel Diameters on Retinal Images for Cardiovascular Studies
Accurate measurement of vessel diameters on retinal images plays an important part in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. In this study, a method of vessel diameter measurement has been developed incorporating with a tracking technique. Twin Gaussian functions are introduced to model the distribution of grey level profile over a vessel cross section. The tracking technique is utilised to study ...
متن کاملAre retinal arteriolar or venular diameters associated with markers for cardiovascular disorders? The Rotterdam Study.
PURPOSE A lower retinal arteriolar-to-venular ratio (AVR) has been suggested to reflect generalized arteriolar narrowing and to predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The contribution of the separate arteriolar and venular diameters to this AVR is unknown. Thus, associations between retinal arteriolar and venular diameters, and the AVR on the one hand and blood pressure, atherosclerosis, ...
متن کاملRetinal arteriolar diameters and elevated blood pressure: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.
Narrowing and other changes in retinal arterioles may reflect damage due to hypertension, which may predict stroke and other cardiovascular diseases independently of blood pressure level. Newly developed quantitative methods of assessing retinal narrowing are used to determine whether this sign is related only to current blood pressure or whether it also independently reflects the effects of pr...
