The role of red blood cell characteristics and viscosity in sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy
Sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy are common ocular complications of sickle cell disease. This study assessed the contribution of red blood cell characteristics and blood viscosity to their development. HbSC patients with proliferative retinopathy showed a lower delta elongation index and point of sickling, while no link was found between whole ...

Computationally Efficient Optic Nerve Head Detection in Retinal Fundus Images [PDF]
This paper presents a computationally efficient method for the detection of optic nerve head in both color fundus and fluorescein angiography images. It involves a combination of Radon transformation and multi-overlapping windows within an optimization framework in order to achieve a robust detection in the presence of various structural, color, and ...

Hereditary Vitreoretinopathies: Molecular Diagnosis, Clinical Presentation and Management
ABSTRACT Hereditary vitreoretinopathies (HVRs), also known as hereditary vitreoretinal degenerations comprise a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the retina and vitreous, collectively and variably characterised by vitreal abnormalities, such as fibrillary condensations, liquefaction or membranes, as well as peripheral retinal abnormalities,

A complementary method for automated detection of microaneurysms in fluorescein angiography fundus images to assess diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
Early detection of microaneurysms (MAs), the first sign of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), is an essential first step in automated detection of DR to prevent vision loss and blindness. This study presents a novel and different algorithm for automatic detection of MAs in fluorescein angiography (FA) fundus images, based on Radon transform (RT) and multi ...
