[IEEE 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA) - Rome, Italy (2018.6.11-2018.6.13)] 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA) - Extracting Features from Optical Coherence Tomography for Measuring Optical Nerve Thickness

摘要： Neurological pathologies, especially optical neuropathologies, can be studied by means of OCT (optical coherence tomography). Tomography generally allows to investigate inner structures of a tissue such as mass, and profiles of liquid flow. OCT is intended as an interferometry-based imaging technique that provides cross-sectional views of substrates. It allows to measure micro-scale cross-sectional imaging of biological tissue. While ultrasound uses sound waves, it acts like it but with a low coherence light. Optical nerve thickness has an impact on different neurological pathologies, and in particular as an indicator of epilepsy. We propose a dedicated technique for measuring optical nerve thickness and identifying its quality by means of processing front eye image in nanoscale. Experimental measurements have been performed, and a database of 10 teenagers has been used for that.
