Purpose:
The objective of this study is to describe the microvascular network of the normal human retina the d using multifractal geometry.
Materials And Method:
The multifractal analysis of five digitized retinal images was made with the Image J software, exprf applying the standard box-counting method.
Results:
The human retinal microvascular network has a multifractal geometry. The generalized fractal dimensions Dq were expressed by the mean value and standard deviation. A comparison with the data from studies performed in the ophthalmologic literature was made.
Conclusions:
Multifractal characterization of human retinal microvascular network, as a non-invasive technique for the analysis of various aspects of retinal vascular topography can be used as a potential marker for early detection of patients with retinal diseases.
