Statistically Evaluating Detection Capabilities of Sub Retinal Fluid Detection Methodology in Optical Coherence
Abstract:
Significance of therapeutic imaging in medical image based diagnostics and treatment, and there in practice implementation in image investigation is undebatable. The cyst (fluid accumulation) development just above the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) Layer is known as Sub-Retinal Fluid (SRF). This distinct anatomical localization of SRF, differs it from normal cysts. Progressive increase of SRF, adversely affects the visual acuity. Improvement in visual acuity by reduction in SRF is a desired outcome of currently available treatments. In this paper, we assess and evaluate the detection capabilities of the Sub Retinal Fluid (SRF) detection technique through the statistical analytical methodologies. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, projects the system's ability to discriminate between the images with and without pathology (in this research pathology is SRF). Overall Sensitivity and Specificity of the SRF detection technique is 96.2% and 92.9% respectively.

Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...
Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
