Abstract:
The field of view of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images of the retina can be increased by montaging consecutive scans acquired at different retinal regions. Given the dramatic variation in aberrations throughout the entire posterior pole region, it is challenging to achieve seamless merging with apparent capillary continuity across the boundaries between adjacent angiograms. For this purpose, we propose herein a method that performs automated registration of contiguous OCTA images based on invariant features and uses a novel montage algorithm. The invariant features were used to register the overlapping areas between adjacently located scans by estimating the affine transformation matrix needed to accurately stitch them. Then, the flow signal was compensated to homogenize the angiograms with different brightness and the joints were blended to generate a seamless, montaged wide-field angiogram. We evaluated the algorithm on normal and diabetic retinopathy eyes. The proposed method could montage the angiograms seamlessly and provided a wide-field of view of retinal vasculature.

The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
