Computer-aided area measurement of ocular images. 1987

A D Gosbell, and W R Barry, and I Favilla, and I J Turner

Using a combination of computer-aided measurement techniques and fundus camera images, the area of regions of interest on the fundus can be measured. If these area measurements are corrected for the magnification effects of the patient's visual system, and the fundus camera optics, an estimate of the true anatomical size of the measured object can be determined in physical units. While the results of measuring models indicate a maximum error of 6% for the system, the results of clinical trials demonstrate an average error of 10% for well-defined areas of interest, with increasing error of up to 30% for poorly defined areas of interest.

D008297 Male Males
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D002830 Choroid Neoplasms Tumors of the choroid; most common intraocular tumors are malignant melanomas of the choroid. These usually occur after puberty and increase in incidence with advancing age. Most malignant melanomas of the uveal tract develop from benign melanomas (nevi).
