Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Retinal microcirculation assessment is crucial for monitoring patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • Current methods of analyzing fluorescein angiograms can be limited by single-frame selection.
  • Accurate comparison of retinal vascular occlusions requires advanced imaging techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational method for combining sequential fluorescein angiogram images.
  • To generate composite and color-coded images illustrating retinal vascular network circulation.
  • To improve the accuracy of comparing retinal vascular occlusions during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Digitization and background correction of photographic negatives from pre- and post-bypass angiographic sequences.
