Automatic System for the Identification and Visualization of the Retinal Vessel Tree Using OCT Imaging

Abstract

This paper proposes a system for the three-dimensional identification and visualization of the retinal vasculature using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans. This fully automatic tool provides useful biomarkers to the medical specialists that facilitate the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of various retinal and systemic pathologies.
