    摘要: A non-stereo fundus image is used to obtain a plurality of glaucoma indicators. Additionally, genome data for the subject is used to obtain genetic marker data relating to one or more genes and/or SNPs associated with glaucoma. The glaucoma indicators and genetic marker data are input into an adaptive model operative to generate an output indicative of a risk of glaucoma in the subject. In combination, the genetic indicators and genome data are more informative about the risk of glaucoma than either of the two in isolation. The adaptive model may be a two-stage model, having a first stage in which individual genetic indicators are combined with respective portions of the genome data by first adaptive model modules to form respective first outputs, and a second stage in which the first outputs are combined by a second adaptive mode. Texture analysis is performed on the fundus images to classify them based on their quality, and only images which are determined to meet a quality criterion are subjected to an analysis to determine if they exhibit glaucoma indicators. Also, the images are put into a standard format. The system may include estimating the position of the optic cup by combining results from multiple optic cup segmentation techniques. The system may include estimating the position of the optic disc by applying edge detection to the funds image, excluding edge points that are unlikely to be optic disc boundary points, and estimating the position of an optic disc by fitting an ellipse to the remaining edge points.

    摘要: A two-dimensional retinal fundus image of the retinal fundus of an eye is processed by optic disc segmentation (2) followed by cup segmentation 4. Data derived from the optic disc segmentation (i.e. the output of the disc segmentation (2) and/or data derived from the output of the optic disc segmentation step, e.g. by a smoothing operation 3) and data derived from the out-put of the optic cup segmentation (i.e. the output of the cup segmentation (4) and/or data derived from the output of the optic disc segmentation, e.g. by a smoothing operation 5) are fed (6) to an adaptive model which has been trained to generate from such inputs a value indicative of cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) of the eye. The CDR is indicative of glaucoma. Thus, the method can be used to screen patients for glaucoma.

    摘要: A method performed by a computer system for detecting opacity in an image of the lens of an eye. The method includes detecting a region of interest in a picture of the lens, and processing the region of interest to produce a modified image using an algorithm which emphasizes opacity associated with a cortical cataract relative to opacity caused by other types of opacity, such as opacity caused by posterior sub-capsular cataracts (PSC). The modified image may be used for grading the level of cortical opacity, by measuring, in the modified image, the proportion of opacity in at least one area of the region of interest.

    摘要: A platform is proposed for automated analysis of retinal images, for obtaining from them information characterizing retinal blood vessels which may be useful in forming a diagnosis of a medical condition. A first aspect of the invention proposes that a plurality of characteristics of the retina are extracted, in order to provide data which is useful for enabling an evaluation of cardiovascular risk prediction, or even diagnosis of a cardiovascular condition. A second aspect uses fractal analysis of retinal images to provide vascular disease risk prediction, such as, but not limited to, diabetes and hypertension.
