Retinal image examination is useful for early detection of glaucoma, which is a leading cause of permanent blindness. In order to evaluate the presence of glaucoma, ophthalmologists may determine the cup and disc areas and diagnose glaucoma using a vertical cup-to-disc (C/D) ratio and a rim-to-disc (R/D) ratio. However, quantitative determination of the cup area is very difficult, thus we have been developing an automated vertical C/D ratio and R/D ratio. The purpose of this study is to improve a cup contour by using automated blood vessel bends detection; thereby a blood vessel detection based on a density gradient vectors concentration was added. Using forty four images, including thirty two glaucoma images, the AUCs of vertical C/D ratio and R/D ratio by proposed method were 0.966 and 0.936, respectively. |
