This study developed a computer system for rotational autokeratoplasty, automating the calculation of trephination center and diameter for corneal transplants. This advances precision in ophthalmic surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Computer Vision
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Rotational autokeratoplasty requires precise determination of trephination parameters.
  • Manual methods for defining trephination parameters can be time-consuming and prone to error.
  • Advancements in digital imaging offer potential for automating surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design a computer system and software for automating rotational autokeratoplasty parameter definition.
  • To establish a procedure for automatically calculating the optimal trephination center and diameter.
  • To enhance the precision and efficiency of corneal transplantation surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a CCD camera (Nikon) for image acquisition of lesioned corneas.

  • Employed a microcomputer with IMAGENIA interface software for image digitalization (512x512 pixels, 100 gray levels).
  • Developed algorithms to determine corneal lesion periphery coordinates and the geometric corneal center from digitized images.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully digitized corneal images to identify lesion periphery and center coordinates.
    • Enabled calculation of the trephination center based on lesion edge points.
    • Facilitated the determination of the optimal trephination diameter for rotational autokeratoplasty.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer system and software effectively automate the definition of critical parameters for rotational autokeratoplasty.
    • This automated approach enhances accuracy in determining the trephination center and diameter.
    • The system holds potential for improving outcomes in corneal transplantation procedures.
