    Abstract: Embodiments relate to extracting blood vessel geometry from one or more optical coherent tomography (OCT) images for use in analyzing biological structures for diagnostic and therapeutic applications for diseases that can be detected by vascular changes in the retina. An OCT image refers generally to one or more images of any dimension obtained using any one or combination of OCT techniques. Some embodiments include a method of identifying a region of interest of a retina from a plurality of retinal blood vessels in at least one optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of at least a portion of the retina. Some embodiments include a method of distinguishing between a plurality of retinal layers from vessel morphology information of retinal blood vessels in at least one optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of at least a portion of the retina.

    Abstract: A system and method for diagnosing retina disease is disclosed. The method comprises capturing a plurality of images of the vascular network within the retina, such as through the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT). This plurality of images are then processed to determine the location and diameter of each vessel in the three-dimensional vascular network in the retina. The vascular network is then divided into a plurality of equal unit volumes. The vessel density, vascular volume density and other metrics can then be determined for each unit volume. This information can then be used to identify retina disease. The information can be parsed and presented in a variety of ways.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a method of detecting at least on feature associated with a blood vessel in at least one image of at least one blood vessel using a matched filter adapted to respond to the at least one feature is provided. The method comprises applying a scale detection filter to selected voxels in the at least one image to determine a scale for the matched filter at each of the selected voxels, determining an orientation for the matched filter at each of the selected voxels, wherein determining the orientation is assisted by using the scale determined at each of the selected voxels, applying the matched filter at each of the selected voxels at the scale and the orientation determined at each of the selected voxels to obtain a filter response at each of the selected voxels, and analyzing the filter response at each of the selected voxels to determine if the respective voxel corresponds to the at least one feature.
