Automated Detection of Vessel Abnormalities on Fluorescein Angiogram in Malarial Retinopathy
The detection and assessment of intravascular filling defects is important, because they may represent a process central to cerebral malaria pathogenesis: neurovascular sequestration. We have developed and validated a framework that can automatically detect intravascular filling defects in fluorescein angiogram images. It first employs a state-of-the-art segmentation approach to extract the ves...
متن کاملAutomated Detection of Leakage in Fluorescein Angiography Images with Application to Malarial Retinopathy
The detection and assessment of leakage in retinal fluorescein angiogram images is important for the management of a wide range of retinal diseases. We have developed a framework that can automatically detect three types of leakage (large focal, punctate focal, and vessel segment leakage) and validated it on images from patients with malarial retinopathy. This framework comprises three steps: v...
متن کاملMalarial Retinopathy in Bangladeshi Adults
To establish if assessment of malarial retinopathy in adult malaria using ophthalmoscopy by non-ophthalmologists has clinical and prognostic significance, 210 Bangladeshi adults were assessed by both direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy; 20 of 20 healthy subjects and 20 of 20 patients with vivax malaria showed no retinal changes, whereas in patients with falciparum malaria, indirect ophthalmoscop...
متن کاملReview of fluorescein angiograms performed in one year.
In this study 374 consecutive fundus fluorescein angiograms (FFAs) were performed on 330 patients. Of these, 165 (50%) were investigated for age related maculopathy. In only 12% did this investigation lead to an alteration in treatment. The remaining 50% of angiograms were requested for diabetic patients (15%), retinal vein occlusion (5%), tumours (6%), and various other disorders. In the diabe...
متن کاملFundus fluorescein angiography in retinopathy of prematurity.
In this issue of the Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, Ng, Lanigan, and O’Keefe present their findings regarding fundus fluorescein angiography in the management and screening of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Recently, there has been interest in photographic documentation of ROP in hospitals lacking sufficient ophthalmologic staff. Images created in the intensive care nursery...
