  • 摘要: 光学相干层析成像(OCT)由于具有微米级高分辨率、非接触式成像以及瞬时性等特点,成为临床医学领域的研究热点,近些年得到迅速的发展,取得诸多进展与突破。本文简述了OCT技术在眼科医学中的各类应用及发展现状,分类讨论了OCT图像在空域和频域中的降噪方法,并重点总结了OCT眼前节和视网膜图像中各层组织的精确定位分层方法。其中深入分析了基于灰度值搜索方法、活动轮廓模型、图论和模式识别等分层方法,并针对现有分层方法的优缺点以及存在的问题展开深入讨论,提出相应的解决方法和优化方案。对眼科相关疾病的临床诊断指标分析评价,根据眼科临床医学需求和OCT图像处理现状,对未来OCT图像处理的发展趋势和发展水平做进一步讨论和分析。

    来源 方法 分割层数 时间 描述
    Fernández, Fabritius等[14, 34] 基于最大灰度的搜索算法 2层 17~21 s 通过定位RPE和ILM测量视网膜厚度,视网膜疾病检测具有局限性
    Mujat,Ghorbel等[33-38] 活动轮廓模型 9层 5 s 局部收敛,分割结果高度依赖曲线的参数选择,且分割范围仅在初始点附近
    Yang等[39-41] 图论 9层 16 s 全局搜索,分层灵活,对噪声和图像退化十分敏感
    Fuller等[42-44] 模式识别 9层 10 min 受噪声影响较小,多用于三维分割,但耗时较长
