Interactive Blood Vessel Segmentation from Retinal Fundus Image Based on Canny Edge Detector
Sensors, 2021 Optometrists, ophthalmologists, orthoptists, and other trained medical professionals use fundus photography to monitor the progression of certain eye conditions or diseases. Segmentation of the vessel tree is an essential process of retinal analysis.

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2013 Abstract.Purpose:Malfunction of retinal blood flow or oxygenation is believed to be involved in various diseases. Among them are retinal vessel occlusions, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Reliable, non‐invasive technology for retinal oxygen measurements has been scarce and most of the knowledge on retinal oxygenation comes from animal studies.

Uptake and metabolism of retinol (vitamin A) in the isolated perfused rat liver
Journal of Lipid Research, 1965 The isolated perfused liver was employed to study various aspects of retinol-C14 metabolism. The rate of uptake of retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and retinol acetate was rapid (first-order rate constant, k = 0.12–0.16 min−1) during the first 3–10 min ...

Retinal Fluorescein Leakage in Retinitis Pigmentosa
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1986 Of 82 consecutive patients with retinitis pigmentosa, 78 underwent fluorescein angiography using standard and special, abbreviated photographic protocols. The stereoscopic angiograms disclosed alterations of the blood-retinal barrier, primarily at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium, in 60 patients.

Retinal cell transplantation in retinitis pigmentosa
Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021 Retinitis pigmentosa is the most common hereditary retinal disease. Dietary supplements, neuroprotective agents, cytokines, and lately, prosthetic devices, gene therapy, and optogenetics have been employed to slow down the retinal degeneration or improve light perception.

Noninvasive, In Vivo Assessment of Mouse Retinal Structure Using Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel method of retinal in vivo imaging. In this study, we assessed the potential of OCT to yield histology-analogue sections in mouse models of retinal degeneration.
