Erich Götzinger, Michael Pircher, Wolfgang Geitzenauer, Christian Ahlers, Bernhard Baumann, Stephan Michels, Ursula Schmidt-Erfurth, Christoph K. HitzenbergerWe present a new method for identifying and segmenting the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) images of the human retina. Contrary to previous, intensity based segmentation algorithms, our method uses an intrinsic tissue property of ... [Opt. Express 16, 16410-16422 (2008)]

Segmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium by polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography

Christoph K. Hitzenberger, Erich Gotzinger, Michael Pircher et al. We report on a new method for segmenting the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) images of the human retina. Contrary to previous segmentation algorithms that were based on variations of backscattered intensity between individual layers, o ... [Proc. SPIE Int. Soc. Opt.

Value of polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography in diseases affecting the retinal pigment epithelium
Explore Article BJO Online (Jan 27 2008) Ophthalmology
Objectives: To evaluate pathological changes of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) by polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Methods: Forty-four eyes (22 patients) with significant pathologies of the RPE were evaluated using PS-OCT. A transversal scanning time domain OCT system was used for two-dimensional cross-sectional imaging of retinal polarisation properties. Results: The RPE scrambles the polarisation state of backscattered light (ie, acts as a depolarising layer), while the polarisation state of transmitted ... (Read Full Article)
