Title:
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR DETECTING AND PREDICTING A PROGRESSION OF RETINAL PATHOLOGIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/022488
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
One aspect of the invention provides a method for training a classification algorithm to detect a retinal pathology. The method includes: for a plurality of pseudo two-dimensional data sets of one-dimensional data points, each pseudo two- dimensional data point representing RNFL thickness values for a subject and corresponding index values for the data points: performing fractal analysis on the data set to calculate a plurality of fractal dimensions and calculating a plurality of slopes between each fractal dimension; combining the plurality of slopes for subjects labeled as pathologic into a pathologic data set; combining the plurality of slopes for subjects labeled as healthy into a healthy data set; and applying a linear discriminant function the pathologic data set and the healthy data set; thereby training a classification algorithm to detect the retinal pathology.
